What I really find interesting is the line that says....In recent years, the number of special muzzleloader hunts and the number of participants have declined.
If this is a fact what is the problem - the harvest level should already be reducing itself....
I don't know what the red letters mean, but if I were an Idaho resident, I would expect that the number of special muzzleloader hunts will increase. New areas open maybe? Something along those lines. If they don't increase hunting opportunity, then its just wind.
