So i've been pondering the pros and cons of elk quality vs quantity. I've been thinking and not saying it's right or wrong but I thought i would put the idea out there and see what everyone on MM thinks.
IDEA:
Limit the number of bull tags in an area with high numbers of elk already established. Then open the cow tags up to a predetermined number to take into account the fewer number of bulls being harvested. If done correctly i think it would restore a good ratio of bulls to cows and still allow for optimum antler growth.
This would still allow the same number of hunters to have the opportunity to harvest an elk while getting a better trophy potential.
So lets hear your thoughts!
