Is this whole thread a guy using chat GPT to post the entire litany of excuses for not finding a good bull in 61 in an attempt to get people to back out of the draw or turn in tags??
there's plenty of pseudo-science to be found on the hunting forums but this appears to be an attempt to cram it all into one thread, in just over one page you have: dead zones, overgrazing, bad genetics, overhunting cows, wolves, misuse of ATV's, elk crossing into other units and getting shot, CPW reducing herds, plus a few?
61 has never been "worth the points", however, it's great for what it is, a good place to see hundreds of small bulls and hopefully turn up a big one, for what it's worth the biggest bulls I've seen there have been recently, not 20 years ago, they are in different spots and you might have to work for it but they are there...
