In the quality deer hunt I was aiming for, someone got one of the four tags with only one point. Lucky hunter

I agree funny thing is I'm seeing more goats now in the 460 than I've ever seen2012 status and trend reportTheharvest guidelines are to limit harvest opportunity to4% or less of the total population, only allow harvest ingoat populations meeting or exceeding 100 totalanimals, and limit harvest of nannies (females) to 30%or less.If we only counted herds of 100 or more goats and exclude all three national parks there would still be 71 permits at a 4% harvest. As it is we have less than a 1% tag to population ratio... Idaho has roughly the same number of goats and 53 tags. I don't think we have gotten an adequate reason for the disparity. If the population was 10k animals in the 1950's and 60's with 0 harvest how long would it take to get the population back up to historic levels?
