The good old days when there were articles about how the umtanum unit was the best in the state and your best shot at a 40” muley. Then it got opened up to general season…

I honestly wish the permit system was the way it was before. Deer 4 entries period. Pick those 4. Not split in all the catagories.

Carbonhunter.  You are spot on.  The manastash unit held some absolute slobs.  Would see so many deer in a day. And so many elk too.  Some of the biggest deer I've seen was in this unit.    I believe they opened it up to general deer season in 2003ish.  Wdfw reasoning was to scale down the deer herds there for a better elk population.   Howd that work out.??? Now there's no deer and no elk.

Remember how much we were complaining back in 01 about how the good old days were?  That was shortly after the bad winters of the mid 90’s and we still had so much opportunity and there were so many animals compared to today.

With all the “management” they have done and money spent it is amazing how far in the wrong direction the wildlife populations have gone. In my opinion there are fewer hunters today and less poaching than what took place over the last 50 years prior to 01 yet in the last generation we have seen the populations drop at alarming rates while the populations climbed in the 20th century with limited regulation.
