    Finally watched an episode that was on a mates my sky of the Duleys program the other day and it happened to be on the wap blocks.
    They left a nice bull to get some age and hopefully grow out a weak side of it antlers. They even did a presentation on why they left it at a briefing.
    The next party ethically left the bull alone as well.
    Only for some lowlife who pestered them as to where it was and claimed they wouldn't shoot it, ended up shooting it when they went in after they told him where it was.

    I'm all for a trial of rules and regs.
    I would like to see some areas have herds of special interest status applied to them and see if proper game management as they have in North America will work here.
    The Wap blocks and mainland whitetail herds would a good start.

    this Stinks.....

    in Aus, it feels like theres mostly 26 inchers in the mountains, anything bigger has slowly been spotlighted and the back log of those mature ones has slowed up, proberly to a normal number but after a boom of years, it seems noticable. thats another kettle of fish though,

    but bottom line was we leave one to grow and it typically gets shot shortly after.. closen up fiord wapiti area would be a good start to encourage the FWF an their story
