I know im new to this whole tag system thing, but it seems like there's only so many "youth archery" tags because its more likely that youth fail at that particular hunt more than an adult would. if you were to give that many archery tags to adults, they would kill way more than were all those tags to be drawn by youth. so to say they should sell 3499 more tags to adults wouldn't quite fit into their conservation plan (regardless of how you feel about that plan, good or bad). and even for the general tags left over, doesn't the same logic apply? a lot less success for bows and muzzys, so you could not really convert all of those to gun tags and still stay within the conservation plan. like I said, im just a newbie, but that's my thoughts.
