I see lots of good ideas on here.
Since the time is now to contact ESRD, please do. ( They will direct you to the proper people).
My list is going to be:
1. NO tags for non-res for any species that is on a draw.
2. NO Antlered landowner tags.
3. Throw out the 10% outfitter tags as it will not be needed.
4. Add Sunday hunting to wmu 100's
5. Minimum 223 for deer size or smaller game.
6. Charge for tags as soon as they are drawn.
Arguing on here does nothing. CONTACT ESRD Now.

So number 1 being at the top of your list I'll ask you a question about that one. So if you took away all the moose, mule deer, elk, antelope from the outfitters what would we do with species that aren't on draw.
Increase Whitetail to 400-500 allocations per zone where 5000 residents currently hunt ?
Elk to a couple hundred allocations where it's currently over the counter
What about sheep, non draw zones bumped up to 30-40 allocations ?
Bears ? Some outfitter areas in Saskatchewan are only 4 townships and have 30 bear allocations. That means almost all of the WMUs in the 300's and 500's should have 500+ allocations per WMU.
Are you good with shifting the pressure onto other animals to reduce the draw times by 6-10% possibly ?
Or do you want everything else to stay the same, just change for your benefit ?
