==================
I'd like to see more info on that.  Is that just the cwd and intensive
harvest areas?  I thought the bonus tags were limited at 2 per day.
Also, didn't the hunt actually start in sept?  Plus, if you say that it runs
all that time people in these groups will think that means gun season all
that time.

=====================
This isn't for all hunting is it?  Again, isn't this mostly for the cwd and
intensive zones?
