There will be less rams available to hunters if you wait till they are older to harvest them. Do you understand compensatory vs. additive mortality?

You don't understand that they are all punitive.

You don't understand there is no way to accomplish this without compromising resident hunter opportunity.

All of it? You followed up my post with much chest beating and proclamations of "I am right" when the post clearly illustrated where and how you were wrong.
I will admit though that you are right when you say that 8 year old rams will have bigger horns than 4 year old rams in the same region. (or did you say that?)
