Again, if I were king I'd do it differently.

Satisfied, heck no....
Our ungulate management throughout the mountain units has been terrible for the last 30 years. That's why we are in this mess now. Be assured, 402 elk are not stable or increasing, the problem is getting worse.

But just further limiting hunting is not the solution if one desires a healthy elk population and to continue a hunt.
