Another idea for Washington Muley's: Increased spring bear quota

[Special T]

I dont hunt mule deer so ive just been watching this discussion. So far only a couple of your have touched on the issue. Sportsmen need to kill predators.

There are lots of great ideas thrown about but they depend upon the WDFW doing something... Something most of us think they are in inclined to do. So sportsmen need to make it happen.

KFhunter touched on the private ID bounty system with wolves... 

So here is a proposal. We need a month or 2 long derby fashioned along the lines of the one held in the NE a year or 2 ago. You earn raffle tickets for coyotes dropped off, and you could possibly work in tickets for those that harvest cougar, and bobcats... team up with some manufactures, cattlemens association, Cabellas, Ranch and Home whom ever for check ins and tickets

The solution is to focus on what you can control, and that certainly isn't the WDFW. 2c

I'm sure most of you may of seen this,but it always good to see how it is.

Kinda of another one ,but he talks about problems with mule deer in the first few min,then goes on to his lame hunt.

The early 1900's have like zero relevance to today

In the context of needing to regulate hunter harvest to maintain, recover, or increase game populations it is absolutely relevant and a clear cut example demonstrating the success of such actions.

No because you are talking about Regulation Vs No Regulation.  That's a completely separate issue, and I wholeheartedly agree that we need management and regulation.  What I don't agree with is that it is the only way, and that we should over-restrict ungulate hunting because we refuse to manage predators.  You must be connected with WDFW somehow.

We do need more predator management, But have to say even if we have zero predators, we still need more regs for better recovery and harvest ,yes numbers are that bad ,with no predators ,hunters will just harvest more,numbers will stay the same or worse,management for hunters and predators is needed .
