Title: N/E elk collaring program?
Post by: Elkslayer on September 05, 2018, 09:06:41 AM: Does any one know what general areas they were collaring elk last year in the N/E corner? I'd heard they collared some near Fruitland. I got this cow with a collar in an area that I wouldn't think they would be targeting for elk.

Do you know if they use other means in those units to keep track of elk (chip, implant, etc). I've had a couple land owners up there tell me this is the case and I've never thought much about it. Just curious really.
