Would you return a tag based on environmental conditions or poor antler growth knowing that you would most likely draw the tag the following year? I had two people ask me why I hadn't returned my limited draw deer tag this year due to the lack of snow. I feel that I drew the tag and I have to deal with the current conditions. Here are the regs from CO DOW. What are you're thoughts?
