Weird Year for 300 Mule Doe Draw Numbers

[vegasmacker]

Wonder what is going on with 300 mule doe numbers. Last year there was 104 tags issues and this year 10. Seems like a drastic drop? I've become accustomed to getting that tag at least every other year. I wonder if its A) a mistake or B) something happened to the population. They issued 55 buck tags this year, seems strange for only 10 does? Anyone I could call for an explanation, as family has property there, so would be curious if something caused that decision. Thanks...

I’m thinking a pretty bad winter kill , 4 feet of snow came on October 1.

I applied in 406 for antlerless MD - looks like less than half the tags issued this year compared to last (44 in 2019 vs 20 this year).

I should have been 100% for my priority 3 application but alas I missed out this year.

Got my cow elk draw though!

Maybe it’s time to stop hammering mulies so much in some zones.
They them populate a bit then hammer them again 😇
