I'll be the first to admit that I'm a horn hunter. With the time and money I spend every year I could get grade aged angus and have piles of time to eat it. I go out and look for stompers which means I shoot very few bucks/bulls. I don't have a good recipe for horn and they don't get much bigger hanging in the garage. As I believe we can all agree the muley pop is low and the big boys are getting harder and harder to find; lets just focus on them. What happens if you only can shoot a muley buck every other year. You still get to hunt for horn every year, just not muley. A general muley buck tag becomes a draw with a 50 percent odds, hell to start make it 75. If you hunt for meat you still have lots of opportunities and if you hunt for horn you do as well. Mule deer pop gets a little less pressure, age structure and quality should increase. I don't want them here but nr would be more inclined to purchase tags, of which don't currently sell out. This would ease some of the financial burdens. Obviously there will be some issues; pissy hunters and logistics to set this in motion. But again something needs to be done, trying to please everyone pleases no one. Thoughts...
