I would hate to see the general areas turned into draw. That is a disaster in the making.
I'd rather a varied wait period imposed if there's really an identifiable problem.
The younger the sheep, the longer the wait between eligibility to hunt. It would make hunters more selective in certain instances knowing they have a long wait between sheep hunts if they decide to harvest a young immature ram.
Just for thought: (General Sheep Only)
Ram under the age of 6.5, 5 year sit out
Ram under the age of 7.5, 3 year sit out
Ram under the age of 8.5, 2 year sit out
Ram over the age of 8.5, 1 year as current sit out
The proper ageing would have to be essential at time of registration.
