From the biological perspective, habitat areas may well be much larger than the WMU.
Where this fell down, was when APOS was established some 18 years ago or so, they successfully lobbied to have their allocations based on the species management unit basis. Their argument was that if the biologist manage the WMUs in that manner, why should their allocations not be managed in the same way.
That argument needs to go out the window, as allocations for outfitters, or for residents for that matter, are essentially people management, and not wildlife management.
