4 Pt or better NE Wa. Whitetail units
Elkaholic daWg:
After what I heard yesterday in Leavenworth I would suggest that anyone with an opinion on this issue contact the commission on the proposal since there was a Stevens County commissioner there asking for it again.there was talk of itfor maybe,say, next year. They have dropped the doe pemit quotas tremendously in that area this year to 50 TOTAL for GMUs 105,108,111,113,117,and 121 as compared to over 600 in 2008,and done away with all 2nd deer tags in the area.
I usually have my own 4 pt restriction but I don't know if I want DFW to dictate this to everyone.
Just a thought.

Thats good news

I think the Stevens county guys are going to have a long uphill battle getting the game department to agree with this. All the studies and papers that I have read say that antler point restrictions don't help to increase deer herd recruitment. If you want more deer, you need more does and a higher fawn survival rate. Antler point restrictions can help a little bit with elk, but deer and elk breed differently. Elk are more of a herd/harem animal during breeding season than deer are. Guess we will have to wait and see what happens.

and the way to do this is to KILL more predators, sorry I had to state the obvious. I agree i think antler restriction does very little in the overall picture.
Maybe a bounty on yotes would be a good start ;)
