Are hunters really the reason the sheep populations are down and not bouncing back? If they are only taking full curl rams, why would the overall population be taking such a hit?
If hunters are to blame then breaking up the state into management units would make a lot of sense. It would be easier to control tags and limit pressure.
How are the sheep doing in the limited draw areas? Do you see an increase in ewes and lambs with the limited hunting?
I agree with some of the posts above. The sheep tags are way too cheap and I would pay more for one. AK is leaving money on the table.
