[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5657794, member: 1409"] Possibly even some 11s, even some 10s. Many are applying with others who have less priority, many of these purposefully so as [I]NOT [/I]to be drawn (this year). That opens up slots for those wanting to be drawn (this year). There also is a growing number who recognize PI may no longer be worth waiting, maybe not even another year. IMO, there's a better chance this year at killing an equal or higher scoring buck at the Milan Arsenal vs PI. One of the risks of waiting to be drawn for PI is that this WMA could be eliminated at any time. Haven't seen this risk mentioned previously (in this thread). That PI land is leased to TWRA, originally for the primary purpose of knocking down the deer population (which was very overpopulated). Between the doe-only hunts and Mother Nature, that primary goal was achieved about a decade ago. Contrary to what some may think, TWRA being able to lease PI had more to do with reducing the deer density than anything to do with offering hunters a better "trophy" buck opportunity. But today, the landowner could probably find plenty of people willing to pay more than TWRA is currently paying for their very limited opportunity deer-only lease. They could also just sell it, any time. [/QUOTE]
