Title: Game Harvest Reports
Post by: polecat on May 03, 2011, 06:28:29 PM: I was going over the 2010 Elk Harvest Report. It breaks it down by game unit. I saw that on the East side in unit 251, Mission, that they harvested 34 cows and 24 bulls. I can only find where they give 3 any bull tags, and no cow tags in the game laws. So how did they get that many cows and bulls? Same thing in the Colockum. They showed cows as well, but no tags given out. Am I just blind, or am I missing something?

Could it be masterhunters maybe?

Post by: bobcat on May 03, 2011, 10:03:39 PM: I think it's any animal that gets tagged with a multi-season tag. I don't know why they do it that way. They should just count them for the season in which the animal was taken.
