kwp Report post Posted May 27, 2013 As many others have said, everyone hunts their own way and shouldn't be told how to hunt, but I really don't think that anyone is doing that. The frustrating part for me, and many others that strive to take "trophy" animals, is that the current management polcies make it much less likely that an animal reaches the age necessary to meet our standards. The fact is that "hunter opportunity" is the main goal of the department. The steady increase in tags is having a detrimental effect on the age/quality of animals. If a "premium" hunt structure allows some units to provide the quality that many of us desire then I don't see what is wrong with that. Unfortunately, depending on how this premium hunt structure is utilized, it could result in increased fees, further dividing of the hunting community, and not even give more premium/qulaity hunts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
