I think it will produce more mature bucks and if they change it to 2pt and under after about 3 years, those mature bucks will get even bigger and pass on more genes.
I had this discussion with a  WDFW Bio in Okanogan when they went 3pt min on the east side for mule deer. He agreed but said they couldn't sell the 2pt max to the public so they left the 3pt in place. There are more mature bucks these days in the Okanogan units so hopefully it'll do the same on the units you're talking about.

Yeah like unit 113. Its like over on this side we have no voice, and over in 117 and 121 they easily get what they ask for. Just remember in 113 were feeding the wolfs, how about some help over here. :twocents:

Love the 4 pt min.  I have been in the area for 15 plus years and watched it go down hill fast.  I have been pushing for a 3 pt for many years now in that area and support the 4 pt 100 percent.

I got real tired of seeing every damn 2 inch spike shot off the roads every year.  Let them grow up, get smart, and survive.

Best decision they have made since the 3 point min for muley... And I also believe it needs to be all of eastern WA...

Must be nice to afford the opportunity to hunt for horns and not meat.

There is plenty of opportunity for meat hunts and I take advantage of those too.  5 of my last 6 elk have been cows.  Thanks for singling me out with your pleasant comment however.

Sorry if you feel singled out, but it was the last on the thread.

I'd love to take advantage of cow and doe tags - but last I checked they aren't as easy to come by for those that don't have special consideration.
