I'm a landowner and a bow hunter. I've been hunting successfully since 1975 with bow and arrow. It's hard for me to understand why a hunter cannot pick and choose either a 6 point bull or 5 point bull and only shoot what they may have been drawn for.
Sure mistakes happen but how is this not different from trophy sheep hunting. The sheep is either legal or its not. A 6 point bull is either a 6 point or or its not. If you don't know what you're shooting, you don't shoot. If you error, you are subject to fine and seizure.
From the information I'm reading a number of people believe hunters in general are trigger happy and/or do not have the ability to count. Really are hunters in general that stupid when it comes to Elk?
Structured age hunts should work on a draw system.
Responsible hunting is what is called.
Maybe thats why so many of my neighbours hate hunters and won't allow access.
