Man, every org. has their hand in the pie. Using a LE deer tag to raise money for ducks seems a little wrong in my eyes. Why not sale off some goose hunts on private ranches or something like that?
Re: South Slope, Diamond Mountain Buck Deer any legal weapon
We understand the sentiment of most here in regards to conservation tags. Ducks Unlimited only gets 4 conservation tags for all the DU chapters within the state, one of which is not a big game tag (I believe it is turkey). At a minimum, 90% of the money raised from this tag will go back to the UDWR specifically for mule deer related projects. We may decide to give back more as we support what the UDWR does and recognize the never ending need for funding to support wildlife management.
As a new chapter we are doing everything we can to get our name out there so we can bring in as many people as possible to our banquet. We felt there may be some people on here who may have an interest in this tag, so we posted here. It was not our goal to offend or upset anyone. Nor are we here to start fights with anyone. We're simply a group of duck hunters who want to do what we can to improve duck populations and habitat in North America.

because the money that get raised for waterfowl like are swan tag fee goes in to the big game spending fund. So I dont see anything wrong with them using a deer tag to raise money for waterfowl.
So far the only "shumck" (you were probably trying for "shmuck" but failed) here is you. The answer to your question is in this thread. You may try reading the posts prior to tossing out insults next time so you don't look like such a shmuck. If the big words trip you up, sound them out.
Good on these guys for getting into something they are passionate about. My guess is if any of us were in their shoes, trying to run a successful banquet from scratch, we'd take anything we thought might draw in attendees or could raise some extra $$.

Congrats Deserducks on the new chapter. I wish your group the best.
New chapters and groups form because of there passion and love for hunting.
They all start out with the best intentions to do good things for the resource.
Then politics get involved and you find your self at a crossroads. Do I follow my passion or do I follow the money. You will eventually have to choose one way or the other in this state.

With so many in our country assualting our gun and hunting rights. I support any group that is willing to expand hunting. I also feel that if tags are given out that it be to groups that support hunting for the general population and not go to promoting someone's private business. I admire your groups intention and wish you all the best.
