KS guys I hope we get through this year without destroying the KDWP and our deer herds

Makes sense that a higher % of hunters would lease or hire outfitter when the wait is that long. But if twice as many NR could get tags, Id have a hard time seeing that result in a decrease in total outfitted hunts/leases by NR hunters just because the wait is half as long.

If they doubled the tags I think you'd see potentially shorter wait times but that would also increase applicant numbers. Normally that's a revenue stream the government can't say no to. Much credit to Iowa and states who have the common sense to with hold.

Sent Rep Carlin an email this morning expressing my concerns with the bill. Tried to keep it short and tie it to decreased non-ag land values and decreased tourism. I asked that she follow the advice of our wildlife and parks personnel who use science and data for decisions. First time I've ever sent anything to a representative.
