I am curious what others might propose to solve the problem of too many young rams dying under the full curl restriction.
I looked back through my notes from the ADFG meeting and based on the numbers shared there, approximately 47% of the rams killed last year were 7 or younger. I'd be willing to bet this has been the case for the last 2-3 years at least if not longer.
This is obviously contrary to one of the stated goals for and intended effects of the full curl requirement, which is to take animals that are at the end of their useful and likely life, making no significant impact at the population level in years to come.
Kyle's matrix above seems like a pretty good proposal to me. A good starting point at least.
