Margaret changes

[higunner]

Has anyone heard the rumor about the Margeret possibly getting divided into two halves, western portion general and eastern portion permit only?

[gotcha]

Yup  better keep eastern permit.

[Big6bull]

I would love it to split and they both still be permit.

[Bullkllr]

Opening the western part to general season would play nicely into the hands of the private landowners east of Weyco, for sure.

Haven't heard about a split but do know Margaret will be a general hunt this year for all weapons.

That's a shame.  Not that I wouldn't like to hunt it again.  Probably not under those conditions.

I agree, expect a zoo, but it will give some of those displaced by fee access a place to go though... will be a good first couple seasons with the bull/cow ratio it has, but in a couple years will be just like any other unit.

Where did you hear this? There are so few permits for Bull why would they take that tag out of the pool? There are plenty of elk in there, you just have to get out of your rig and hunt. Sounds pretty dumb to me.

[gotcha]

Backcountry will never be general. They would never do that to the monument.  The westside. That is another story.

I'm pretty sure if  Todd says it's going to happen then it's gonna happen.

[kentrek]

  you've got to be kidding me....guess Il be finding a new area to out in for regular bull tag

[Ghost Hunter]

:dunno:The proposal says otherwise......sad

[bobcat]

They did change the boundary of the Margaret unit....

[Firedogg]

That will push more elk over the boundaries into Winston.

[280ackley]

Sooo, what other unit has a boundary change to include the land east of the USFS line?
