Not sure on how I feel about the proposed point system, old system did have flaws but relatively simple and too many big changes will scare off more hunters .

Also I don't like the idea of different prices for the tags .I've always felt both the cow's and bull's were equally important and just because some hunters feel the need to shoot that trophy bull I don't think that justifies putting the tag price higher and speaking for my hunting partners I think they would feel the same .

I'm also not in favour of shortening the distance that you must be to the tag holder . when you're hunting in many areas you're already restricted for areas to hunt by terrain , cutover locations and accessibility . The old 5 Km distance gives you a little more wiggle room . And also for a larger group of gun hunters you have a little more room to separate for safety reasons . More options is better . As far as communication that is something the hunters must be sure of no matter what . Or compromise at 4 Km not 3.
Was nice to be able to transfer the tag . If in a group and tag holder may only be able to get out mininally then to transfer it to someone more a available to go meant the party could still get out and everybody happy even with some penalty for the transfer . I understand the ghost hunter problem . Can't fix everything all at once .
I close by saying too much too fast will scare more hunters away and thats already happening .
