Another meat safety question. Elk not recovered for 24 hours.

Well, if they apply in the NR landowner pool they are only eligible for those. But in 799 they don't even come close to the # of applicants needed to use all the allocated tags. So everyone draws.

Edit: I would have to look and see how many tags NR Landowner get, I'm not sure. Even if it was 10% of 15%, there still isn't enough applicants.

Double edit: I looked, all I can see is the 15% allocation of limited districts go to Landowner preference, so maybe they are in the same pool. Maybe @Ben Lamb would know?
It’s just a money game we shouldn’t be mad we don’t have enough to play it’s our own fault. A guy that goes to my gym bought enough to be eligible he said his Realator calls all the time wanting to sell it for like 1.2 million now

Just watche'd this hunt on YouTube and couldn't believe it. What I hope happened off camera was the bull was still alive so they backed out. If they didn't peak over the hill to glass for that bull before it got dark I hope they get a waste of game ticket or eat 300# of rotten meat. There is no way that bull wasn't rotten. Doing it all for the horns.
 
I posted this before, but I think it was overlooked as to the value this device brings to the hunter that loses an elk for several hours to several days.

You can’t always rely on your nose to determine the “age” of the dead critter. It is a simple device that you just put between the legs of the dead animal to tell if it is still salvageable.

You can tell by the spread on this Angus cow, that the “bloat gauge” isn’t necessary, but some of the less rank critters are still worth taking home…
