General elk, yes. General deer tags are through a drawing so it’s not an every year type of deal - sorry I left out that detail. General units are managed for opportunity, not quality. Still, a few good animals get killed in most units each year.
Again, great question! Since the cow elk tag is issued by the state, for a certain unit, DL&L has no authority to dictate what the state can and cannot do when charging license fees. Each CWMU must follow rules of the program outlined by the state including season dates, tag numbers, etc. But...
Good question, I'm not sure, call the UDWR. The article I referenced is for 2024 and beyond - a little reactive, instead of proactive. The state runs the show, even on private land which isn't much different than other states. For example, it wasn't too long ago that DL&L got a phone call from...
Sure.
As a resident, I can apply for the following limited entry hunts (limited quota, including CWMU*) each year:
Deer, elk, or antelope - must only choose one

Going through some pics today and came across this one from back in 2017...
The man on the left is my wife's grandfather, who was one of the kindest men I know - he has since departed this life. The boy on the right is my son, the best son a father could ask for.
Doves in Argentina is something every wing shooter should experience. Here’s a recap of a hunt I did down there a few years ago:

Happy to answer any questions you have about the trip - you’ll have a blast.
It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out. A few of the mapping apps (i.e. BaseMap and Onx) have a distance feature, will those be outlawed too? Pretty darn easy to get an "about" distance with a couple clicks.
