This is going to reverberate throughout the hunting comunity once word gets out.
Seems like it won't.
What's the rationale for not allowing the hunting of branch-antlered bulls in a particular area?
My info is dated by 20 years but when I lived and hunted out there the intent was to grow some bigger elk and they figured that by only taking spike bulls anything a little older would walk.
How's it worked? No clue but I will say WA state has the most f'ed up game and fish regulations of any state I've hunted in. I am damn careful to follow the law and I am sure I violated something every year in WA simply because of their complexity.
