Yes, I'd be.........am upset. We have areas up here that are spike-fork or 50" only for moose. The ADF&G in all of its infinite wisdom

manages these areas as trophy bull areas. They start by killing off a large number of cow moose to thin the population down. Then they place the antler size harvest restrictions on the specific area. Wouldn't be such a bad idea for remote access areas, but they do this BS in places where the local population depends on the meat.
