Re: Up For Discussion: (Proposal) Apply 6 pt antler restriction to west Kootenay bow
It was this option or LEH for WK from what I seen on the table. I know the archery harvest was a very high portion, 30% of total harvest. Their (government) modelling data still suggested that more bulls are being harvested than being recruited despite the shortening of the rifle season by 10 days. So they needed to reduce the harvest some way and this was the device they chose as its a big percentage and the 6 point will no doubt change that. The WK groups wanted LEH, so this could be seen as a way to keep the opportunity while avoiding LEH.
