2) SRD examined moose and elk WMUs in the past couple years and instituted draws according to their policy and now they are looking at mule deer.
3) SRD had been collecting data for the past 10 years on the mule deer archery season and feel that statistically they have sufficient evidence to place a number of WMUs on draw.
4) SRD brought the change forward to AGMAG for discussion for 2013 regulation changes.
5) The ABA is one of the member groups of AGMAG and if this concerns you and you are not a member of the ABA, you should be. They are the archers' voice at the table.
