The other fact many are choosing to ignore is that ALL wildlife is public property and while ESRD can limit access to maintain the public property, access must be equally available to all and not based on perceived value by
some who hold one animal in higher regard than another.

It is equally available to anyone. Anyone can purchase an over the counter bighorn sheep tag at $52 and hunt them every year!! But the 15 438 rut tags can be purchased at say $500 if drawn. So no one is discriminated against with sheep hunting but coveted tags are sought after due to their "special" nature and therefore should be treated as such as done in the whole rest of the world! There is a reason that 2200 OTC tags are sold each year and 3800 put in the draw for 438! Its a very special tag yet guys say it should be treated no different and hold no more value to them. Thats a joke!!
