Broken promises from SRD that they would release the data to the Public before making any decisions....
Smell the coffee Boys!
There are alterior motives to these proposed changes beyond helping get the mature ram pop. over 5% in the few WMU's that had low counts.
If SRD and the AGMAG interests cared to maintain Public hunting opportunity and help reduce Ram harvest, the answer is simple, too simple to achieve what they really want.
In those WMU's with a low Mature ram count, increase the legal requirement to full curl until the winter count reaches the 5% threshold. When the threshold is met, the legal requirement returns to 4/5 curl.
While this technique would work for the Ram % issue, it doesn't satisfy what is really being sought.
