Most of these charges end up being thrown out in court anyway. Second, to reduce the # of rams shot and left after they are found out to be just short when the hunter gets to them. Third, to control the # of hunters in any given zone to make it a better experience and quality hunt. (I don't necessarily buy that argument). Again, just what I've been told first hand, don't shoot the messenger.

When were you told this?
These options were brought to the table years ago, and defeated. Old news?
