i been screaming earn a buck since i could talk....IMO it would have been a muccccch better idea than the herd reduction methods that were used...alot of the guys that hunt the mountainous states travel FROM the now "special reg areas" to hunt in rifle season....many of them would have stayed home to crack their doe before heading to "camp" or would taken the doe in bow season at home etc...i can defnently see how more guys would taken does in SRAs because it would been much easier...i think the SRAs would been better off, as well as less does being killed in the mountainous areas....sounds great in threory...work out the details and i can see how it would easily worked....and it would have balanced the buck to doe ratio much more effectively, and quicker.....as well as worked on age class due to less bucks being taken ontop of ARs...i know if my area was EAB, and i filled my doe tag, id definetly hold out for a nicer buck than shooting the first basket rack that came by...

it would been hard to iron out details to ensure the mountainous areas didnt get shot up...maybe some encentives to take does in the SRAs and not so many in the mountainous areas or something...it could have been done better, more efficiently, and in a quicker time......buttttttt thats probably pretty much all politcs and such....and too complicated and time consuming than simply saying "issue more tags and get rid of alot of does"
