[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 2966570, member: 8833"] I have hunted the past 25 plus years in a back country area that was one of the first to designate elk as a brow tine minimum on bulls. I thought this was a good idea at the time. First dozen years it was not uncommon for one of our group to find 'illegal bulls' that had been shot and left to rot. Now the elk numbers have increased but the quality has diminished in horn size. We have increased quantity but decreased quality. After all these years of putting pressure on only the bulls you are trying to increase it has taken it's toll. Plus now all the breeding is done by the lesser quality bulls. This is an over the counter general area. The only way to truly achieve a goal in wildlife management is to regulate the type and number of tags and to change the regs when needed - good luck with getting that through in our State. [/QUOTE]
