Seems like you have a good case for getting your points back at least.

Thats too bad you were planning on hunting that area.  There is still a lot of good area in the unit that remains open.

when Tima logging starts running the lumber they were cutting during modern elk start running down they will run more elk out thru the damaged fence than any amount of hunters ever will.  :twocents:

They let people hunt the early elk season for one week and then turn in their tag. I think you have a good shot anyways.

The whole unit isn’t closed is it? Why can’t you hunt north of evans? BBQ flats is north of there and still lots of area. Do you get to hunt all of 342?

There is still a lot of area in 342 that will be open. This will be a bonus and will put less pressure on the animals that have moved down.
