We have (according to QDMA data) 10.8 hunters per square mile in the state of Indiana. Iowa has 0-4 hunters per square mile and Illinois has 4-8 hunters per square mile. If this data is correct, the only way I can see to substantially reduce the harvest is to limit tags.
Without purchasing a single bonus tag, one could kill 3 antlerless and one antlered deer with a bow tag, crossbow tag, firearms tag and muzzleloader tag.
So how do you lower the harvest? Do you just sell a "deer tag", leave the obr in effect and limit sales to two tags per hunter?
And if you do that, how would it affect the DNR's revenue stream, LTL holders and landowners?
