It was a permit hunt...225 bull tags..335 cow tags. I spoke with a bio last week at IDFG and shared my exp with him..he agreed with exactly what I said about the elk. They are trying to get the herd cut down as it has exceded carrying capacity, but the terrain has created some huge mangement issues with large roadless areas and private on other side protecting the elk. He said the long term goal is for the unit to be an exceptional bull hunt
It ends Nov 3rd and its any weapon..we are headed back the 1st to see if we can fill a tag or 2
Yeah its pretty long....by our 5th day on the hunt about 80% of the people had left and I guess its pretty empty from there on out. The damge was done by then anyways shoving the elk onto private or 2-3K feet in elevation down into the wilderness. My hope is with the pressure being down now for awhile and cooler temps now that the elk will be out a little more.
