You won't see it during the day fyi

Sounds like when WDFW came in and wiped out the elk herd here in the Methow because of the damage to the orchards.

Why wouldn't they have a "special" hunt and let tag holders harvest them?

[pianoman9701]

I've written to the DFW for more information about this.

They kind of evolved that way.  They made it any elk, any tag for awhile.  Not sure where they are at now with the regs.   They keep them thinned down anyway.  Its been a long time since the big massacre there.

We'll find out. We need to get confirmation or denial from the DFW first and work from there. If this is accurate information - no offense to the OP - then this should indeed have been given to the hunters of WA to perform. Let's not get the cart in front of the elk, though. A systematic approach is prudent at this juncture.

All elk are getting donated to tribes and food banks

That is bull feces! I can't believe they would do such a thing. Why not offer  more opportunities to the guys that want them or have master hunters? What is the game dept gonna do with all them? Seems like a waste and a slap in the face to the guys that put in for the chance at a bull in there! Makes me sick!

If this is true, too bad PETA wasn't there harassing the shooters. Maybe get what's coming to them, tickets and maybe some jail time.

   it would be 5,000-6,000 lbs meat...

Its true

[boneaddict]

I wonder if they are going to auction off the antlers

More then that
Two bulls weighed a combined weight of 922

on a side note, I hear they shot the last two rams in the tieton last week.
