This is the exact issue we face here in BC, they manage hunters by having antler restrictions, shortened seasons, and leh draws rather than addressing the issues like habitat restoration, predator management, etc. All that seems to do is turn hunters into non-hunters and ends up in a number of dead animals which were incorrectly identified. I'm not sure what the answers are but I do know we as hunters often make it easy for them by actually requesting these restrictions thinking they will be temporary until something is really done which helps the herd. Once something is taken away it probably won't ever come back.
