Anyone in this thread who hasn't checked out the mule deer working group's work put together by WAFWA really should. They have some incredible information they put out and several easily digestible "fact sheets" on all most all of the topics being discussed here.
Including this one on...
If you'd rather save a few bucks, you can come over and we can light off some fireworks in your face and Ill smack you with an aluminum bat. You'll get the same shooting experience and have about the same chance of hitting whatever you are pointing at.
Like you said the quotas ensure we aren't taking enough animals to have population level impacts, even if they're both 41/2 year olds. I certainly cant say for sure what the difference between a legal 41/2 yo and a sub legal 41/2yo, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the mothers body fat and...
I haven't made the MDF banquet, but sounds spot on with the others Ive made it to, WSF and RMEF, etc. Also your correct, about half the entertainment is watching the "well lubricated" folks blow money at the auctions, lol! Oh well its for a good cause, right?

Its abundantly clear hunt...
When we have directives to "simplify" our seasons, regulations, boundaries for the benefit of people who seemingly are unable to read regulations, it becomes even more daunting to consider this idea.
Further more placing any sort of restriction on turning our animals into profit is beyond this...
High 150/low 160s, 21-22" wide, 4pt with brow tines, nice buck.
Probably not going to shoot him. I don't need to shoot another buck like that, Ill fill my freezer with a cow elk if I need/want more meat.
