HuntHarder Report post Posted February 8, 2022 You wouldn't get to hunt.. If your luck stays the same, in 43 more years, you will have now only had 1 more archery bull tag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSR Report post Posted February 8, 2022 I like to hunt not collect bonus points. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted February 8, 2022 this is one of the most ridiculous statements i’ve read. Would you rather have a good shot at killing a big animal once in your lifetime or a reasonable chance at killing a big animal every several years? Quality is down across the state but it is still there. You’ve just got to hunt a little harder now. 17 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trphyhntr Report post Posted February 8, 2022 you think $135 is gonna drive off a lot of people from trophy elk tags? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idgaf Report post Posted February 8, 2022 Since we are speaking hypothetically. Turn elk units totally primitive consecutive years and then allow standard methods consecutive years. For example, archery hunts traditional equipment only. Muzzy hunts no inlines. General hunts limit scopes to 6 power. Then watch the quality go way up. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
