Study on effects of harvest on pronghorn horn size - Wyoming

I looked and didn't see another post on this here yet. Looks like an interesting study. I got an email Saturday on it.

Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit | The effects of harvest on pronghorn horn size

We conduct ecological research to help better understand, manage, and conserve animal populations.

Will be interesting to see the results of a study like this. I think it has been a long time since anything like this has ever been tackled.

Link to the website for the study - https://wyocoopunit.org/projects/the-effects-of-harvest-on-pronghorn-horn-size

Data collection for this project will be focused on sampling horn and body size, and age of as many pronghorn that are harvested across 3 sets of paired hunt areas in the heart of pronghorn country in Wyoming. During years 2-4 of the study, we hope to increase hunter opportunity in one of each of those paired units to evaluate how more opportunity for harvest affects age structure and patterns of horn growth of harvested animals.

I wonder which unit is going to get the increased hunter opportunity next year?
