^^^ wasn't all that long ago thet you could buy 3 of the 4 tags, WT, Mule, Elk or Moose, all in General, then Mules went to that assinine 3 point rule, then bow hunters figured out they could hunt an extra 6-8 weeks on the same tag -for a $5.00 Bowhunting stamp ( could never figure that one out)...then with increasing pressure, things started to change, shortened seasons in the 300's, then a few started to go to draw, then a lot went to draw, now we are mostly draw....with minimum 2-3 year waits, and generally 6-10 year waits. But anybody with a Bow can still go out and hunt for 2 months??...the number of bow hunters (?) has increased dramatically over the last 20 years, as has their equipment, a guy posted on here the other day of putting an arrow in an animal at 75 yards, that was unheard of when I Bow hunted...things change, pressure changes, population of game animals, everyone wants more and more, as long as the next guy gives up something....
