How far do you have to be from the park boundary?

No distance, just be on the right side of the boundary.

Or maybe I'm not understanding the question correctly.  :dunno:

You're in the park, or you're out. If you're in, you're not legal.

Also remember that even if you shoot your animal outside the park, it may run into the park in which you will have no ability to retrieve it. I'd hunt far enough away from the boundary that a wounded animal would have little chance of getting into the park before dying. :twocents:

Far enough that when you make a lethal shot, it doesn't die in the hard park.
  In the old days, you would have some cooperation with the park ranger with a mortally wounded animal who wandered into the park.
From what I understand now, if the animal dies in the park, that where it stays, right, wrong or indifferent.

 :yeah:  I will add this.   The park ranger patrol the park boundary like a hawk....   Get a good map, and pre scout the area and look for the park boundary signs on the trees.

I have been there the last few years tagging along with my hunting partner.  The signs are white and sometimes hard to see.

If it's a really good GPS (strong antenna).  The park marks its boundary fairly well, maintenance of it is so-so.  They have metal ID plates tacked on the trees about 8 ft up.  Where there's a gap in the trees, tends to be metal T-posts with signs and white paint.  They usually do the maintenance on the boundary about once a decade, so there are a few spots where the wind blows down a few trees and it can be tough to stay on the boundary line.

Pick up some maps and take a few scouting trips up there to help get an idea of the boundary.  That will be a fun tag!

Awesome tag!  I've been wanting that one for a while.

I'd touch base with the rangers before I went to check by their maps and let them know where/when I'd be hunting.  I always thought driving up that road with an elk in the back of pick up so close to the park there might be some questions to answer.

Get the OnX maps chip or phone app, as well as the maps.

BTW:  If you don't mind me asking, how many points did you have to draw that tag?

Again, I've wanted to draw that tag for a while...even though I have some of the same concerns you have regarding where the boundaries are.  Not only do you need to think about the Park, but there's reservation land around there too which would have similar implications if you accidentally hunted on.

Best of luck.  Please share your results with us!
