Dmp tags.

[G-Man]

Wow it crazy the number of dmps goven out this year, everyone that was turned down initially i know got a letter giving them one , eveyone in camp now has one ( this is in a low to zero chance for second permit area) normal year 4 to 6 tags in camp out of 10 people , this year 10 for ten including one that got 2!! Yes two for thsi low chance area with no chance for second!!

So i figured system is screwed up , but then i started Thinking, perhaps they have released more trying to possible escape the effects of ehd downstate here. Another though was they released more expecting a shutdown with covid and are giving a chance for meat to as many as possible.

Anyone else see the same thing in wmu you hunt in? Just doesnt make sense to me unless this is reason ,or new system is so scred up its out to wipe out the herd

Last year between the neighbors on either side and the three of us who hunt our place, I got one landowner’s tag. This year we all got doe tags. And one of the three here is an out of stater.

I believe this was the first year out of state hunters were able to get doe tags. I could be wrong but that the group from Maryland that hunts by me all got them.

I'll have to check the mail as of now I haven't received one.  It would be nice because I do 90% of my hunting in 7p.

3p is hit or miss sometimes, but this year the wife and I both got one. I did check the book and it showed chances were high this year so it seems it was planed.

What are odds fornout of state hunter in your wmu?

Maybe they are beginning to realize  the buck/doe ratio is way out of whack and are hoping for some adjustments.

Residents and non-residents were high and none this year. Last year residents were low and none and non-residents were none and none. Quite the change in one year. A welcome change.

@G-Man Are you in 9P?  Just curious because that was one of my choices and I was denied.  I did get a 9S
