Has trophy quality improved in the zones that went to draw for archery? I have spent very little time in any them since the change, and am curious as to what locals have observed...

nope, but bow pressure on the zones neighbouring them has gone through the roof.
Yup, but tag numbers didn't really increase so significantly less harvest opportunity as well. Our zone was traditionally pretty wide open access wise so bow hunting harvest was significant prior to the changes.
Not yet,but alot more younger bucks around....with some good winters give em a few more years until they hit there prime antler growth and the Quantity of quality bucks will be better than right now.
Quality around pincher has not improved one bit. Virtually all killed by rifle hunters instead of some by bowhunters. Outfitters sure like it. They never lost a single archery tag. Almost non existent resident competition in bow season.
