Some good questions posed already.
Mine will be:
1. please define the problem - not enough rams? trophy quality too low? age structure? not enough sheep altogether? something else?
2. please provide us with the data which were used to define the problem - counts, field studies into age structure, etc etc
3. please provide details on how each option would be implemented (e.g. the existing priority issue; what will happen if suddenly 12,000 hunters apply instead of the envisaged 2,000)
4. what other management options are you considering (predation control, habitat conservation, access, etc)?
5. if there will be restrictions on number of tags, please inform us how outfitters will be impacted.
Probably will come up with a few more.
