Check the harvest report. The type 6 had slightly over 11% success. That's low odds killing elk. The area has a lot of recreation activity, including deer and moose hunting and a good portion of the east slope of the mountain was burned, making for open country. Elk either go low to private or...
This was US District Court(Federal) and if there were no appeals that overturn this decision it can be used, I believe, as precedent.

When numbers of type 4&5 tags were left over after allowing 3 tags per person, only one being full price, there...
It's obvious you have as much a handle on this as anyone. Better than the Dept IMO. This train is going to be very hard to stop, even with it's lack of support by most all resident sportsman and some NR.
One slight disagreement: type 6&7 tags were created so one hunter could have two tags. At...
This is just one more excuse to slaughter elk. I'm afraid once it begins, there will be no stopping it. It's hard to say the outcome of all this, sportsman that favor hunting elk might speak out against, but they will most likely be ignored.
That is something the G&F does well these days under...
