I would support a total mule deer closure in 358 for a few years!

I agree as well. 357,358,359 have been hit really hard. Another problem is with 356,355 and 354 being over the counter there are quite a few farmland deer getting killed and brought out to the bush to get gutted. Until they either close these zones (356,355,354) or put them on draw as well the population will have a hard time bouncing back.
I don't think putting the bow hunters on draw is a bad idea either, also making compulsary inspection of all mule deer kills like they do in B.C. would get some accurate numbers in place.
