The number of draw tags is controlable by F&W. However the number of general tags and the success of bow hunters (both of which contribute to increas in harvest) is not controled.
So in order to control harvest all hunters have to go on a controled number of draw tags.
A controlled number of draw tags IS part of mule deer management.

Not necessarily....they could have just kept reducing the number of draw tags to accommodate the increased archery harvest. It truly is just about managing the distribution of the harvest among various user groups...not managing deer numbers.
