What I honestly think is some want change so bad that they are willing to sacrifice elk hunting as we know it. Going against everything elk management for public lands. Mule deer foundations and alot of politics. Land owners ranchers. Are all for this proposal. I understand most on here for it...
LE limited and of course awesome compared to right now for the public. Giants roamed LE public land managed correctly.
Who cares what the private does. It only makes the public better.
What is the best hunt u ever been on. Mine is otc public land with my Dad in 1994.
Exactly stifler. That is why is has to be LE.
LE allows for unit by unit management. So it works for the business of outfitters that caters to non residents, which allows large land owners to be in power. But the public benefits with swooping in once in a while getting a bma or border buck...
So based off a survey that I don't believe anyway. We going to continue selling md tags. Without regard for the actuall huntable herd numbers.
Fwp should do a survey on hunting bull elk in ynp.
Where does actually management come in. They protect wolves, grizzlies. In my opinion some maybe most don't have a huntable mule deer population in region 3. Unit 300 is LE with the amount of tags issued, a different state such as wy or whatever makes it look pathetic.
