270 win., you should probably post this question on the big game forum. You'd probably get more responses there since that's what we talk about there.
Power, what are the powers that be thinking with a plan like that?
That goes against every single game management program I have ever heard of. Why in the world would a wildlife department want to kill the bulls off before they reach maturity? Here we have a 4 point minimum in most of the GMU's. It keeps the young bulls protected and allows them to grow up and breed.
I think you guys need to get some new people to run the show around there.
