Originally posted by hornharvester: DNR probably will lower bonus tags but that wont do much if anything unless they take the state back to A's and 1's counties. I figure after a couple years of lowering bonus tags and that not stopping the downward slide of deer numbers they will implement Prop 1. There will be no reason not to shorten gun seasons!.....might even be quicker if license sales start to drop. Happy New Year...h.h.
Time will tell, but I don't think it will happen in that time frame.
As pointed out, the data suggests the harvest numbers appear to have leveled off and significant policy changes aren't normally made from one or two anomalies in the harvest trends. So unless/until a significant downward harvest trend (that wasn't designed) shows itself over several years, I can't see much changing.
