Why don't we issue a LIMITED NUMBER of tags for 3-4 point bulls, 5 point bulls and 6 point bulls. Shouldn't some of the more mature and smarter bulls have a chance to survive, grow and reproduce another day?
If they really want to reduce the population on elk issue more antler less tags and commence the season earlier. Not at the beginning of December and again in January.
I'm only a hunter and a landowner that cares about wildlife management.
If you get a chance tell a Wildlife Biologist that cares?

How would issuing the antlerless tags earlier reduce the population?
