There will always be a certain amount of greed when it comes to issues such as this, and the mule deer are a good example as well. Take the uproar raised when many zones were taken away from bow hunters on a general tag.
Don't get me wrong, I love the fact we as Albertans can buy a general tag for sheep on a yearly basis even if its just for an excuse to get to the hills, and I'd hate to lose that privilage, but there are times we need to do what is right for the good of the hunting quality/experience. I'm pretty sure most of us are doing this for the trophy quality, not the table fare (that's just a bonus)
