Okydoky,
I don't want to hijack another thread so I am putting this here. So there are some people who disagree with the UDWR's decision to raise NR hunting fees. Many keep bringing up their observation that the General units are full of 2 point deer. They seem very dissatisfied with the trophy quality and they blame the DWR.
Here's my question. So who shot all the bigger and presumably more mature deer?
Hunters made this situation. Did the DWR sell tags for those deer? You bet. But hunters went out and massacred the deer. Some disease didn't spring up that kills every buck but the 2 points. The way it looks is there is a bunch of greedy killers who couldn't tell themselves don't shoot young bucks and now they are complaining that the deer hunting isn't worth the money anymore.
How do you teach multiple generations how to pass deer and raise their standards? How do you fix the problem of greedy hunters who think if they have a tag they have to put a bullet in something? Can most hunters self regulate their own passions?
