Saddlesore,
2018 Deer Apps: Res 113, 370, NR 80,359 so a total minimum number of Small Game licenses would be that plus another 15,000 youth apps.

So your estimate is close.

I’m with you. I can choose to pay or go elsewhere. I’m not happy that I have to buy SG to apply for deer, but that’s just the way it is! My home state rapes nonresident hunters just as dry with no reach around either.

Happy Trails
