I'm in favor of asking for 8 rings, but even this won't work if they don't train and enforce it properly.
It's an issue with folks in all interest groups on both sides of the fence. I'm sure the outfitting industry is heavily against it due to the fact that increasing horn size restriction will put a serious damper on their success rates and pocketbook for a few years. Many outfitters are also in both the wsf and Afga. Lots of hunters wil be against it because they don't want to give up hunting opportunity even though it means a healthier herd and the chance at harvesting bigger rams down the road. I think we need to take a longer term view of the issue and do what is right for the sheep herd. You need to write in to the government and voice your concerns imo.
