On #3, I agree with forcing the people to buy the tags early or have them forfeited. Maybe do another mini draw in september with the forfeited tags.
#4, Don't see why it would matter if you reported your harvest or not on a lot of species. The biologists are still going to be doing there counts so they should be able to get a good idea of what was harvested and not.

people wanting to raise fees doesn't make it or them elitist, thats just a cop out for people that are cheap. The fee increases chuck proposed wouldn't even pay for the gas on a weekend of hunting.
#4 the harvest report being mandatory is common place in many juristictions and no huning the following year if not completed is the penelty as well. basically it forces hunters to give their data to F&W to better help manage the resource, Alaska has this in place as the amount of land to manage far exceeds the number of resources they have to complete the work/ surveys
