The fact that you can remove the middle two rows without unstacking everything… bravo!
Sorry for the hijack. Now, back to the regularly scheduled programming….
Agreed. To be clear, I’m a fan of the proposal. My thought was that a legislative tweak to the B10 concept might be able to save a few thousand mule deer bucks right off the top before anyone started rolling up the sleeves any further. As Ben stated above, though, it’s complicated (of course).
I guess what I’m asking is: Would there ever be a legislative appetite for ditching the current B10 definition for a new idea that makes the B10 an Elk Combo license only? Retaining the current B10 Big Game Combo price would preserve the funding and save mule deer bucks from being hammered as a...

Aren’t the 17,000 NR combos shared between the Big Game Combo and Elk Combo? Theoretically, couldn’t the legislature help by turning all 17,000 NR licenses into Elk Combos only and price them at the current Big Game combo price (not much more than the elk combo anyway)? That strategy would...
