Yes, that is right, robotic deer.

What does that say about what hunters get utility out of: the shooting part is more important for some than the figuring out if the target is actually a real deer.Dr. Tuftehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397586052171706438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169279.post-19716829341603318342011-09-16T13:02:22.737-06:002011-09-16T13:02:22.737-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Belbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17034586156685672158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169279.post-45537415902744891412011-09-13T12:02:05.812-06:002011-09-13T12:02:05.812-06:00The DWR is a money hungry agency in my opinion.

However, I feel that a lot of sporstmen will respond by not buying a tag. In my opionion and that of a lot of people I know. Spending 40-45 dollars on a deer tag for a poor 3 day hunt is not worth it. The buyers surplus is goneFarvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328035071310737732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169279.post-43715117255082340912011-09-12T22:47:06.760-06:002011-09-12T22:47:06.760-06:00Interesting Lando.

For example, the DWR has offered and issued far more deer tags than should have been allotted each year given the supply of deer in that region. Of course they have earned significant Landohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17690706844494470562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169279.post-64878049780067271652010-12-06T22:16:47.181-07:002010-12-06T22:16:47.181-07:00If the DWR is using this bundling method in an eff...If the DWR is using this bundling method in an effort to make it easier for them, they are going about it all wrong. They offer so many licenses that it can get somewhat confusing for someone not familiar with the program. It is likely that they use the current system for familiarity reasons rather than efficiencies.DSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09032406304150333193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169279.post-77008746284859382792010-11-30T18:31:11.287-07:002010-11-30T18:31:11.287-07:00I think this is an example of bundling, but not of...I think this is an example of bundling, but not of good bundling - perhaps there's a job for an SUU graduate to help the state raise more funds!<br /><br />The key to using bundling to increase producer surplus is to bundle things together that people may not want, while including at least one thing that different people want.<br /><br />So, in this case, it's hard for me to see how the $Dr. Tuftehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397586052171706438noreply@blogger.com
