Bag limits & harvest report analysis are lop-sided. Subsistence limits are extraordinarily high & reporting by subsistence users is abysmally inaccurate ... & nearly non-existent.
The WAHerd split & now is seen as separate from the Teshepuk Lake herd, while in the past, the entire population was considered to be the WAH.
Population dynamics are not well understood, but the U.S.& State Constitutions are clear. All Alaskans should have equal access to all game & fish resources.  That may call for reduced limits & seasons for all users, but it does not allow elimination of all but local subsistence users ... as happened this year in GMU23.
