@Gerald Martin do you feel like the elk will be too vulnerable on private in october if there is late rut action?
Might be the only insightful comment i saw on facebook.
Too vulnerable with the proposed rifle
antlerless on private in October? No I do not think they will be too vulnerable since most antlerless harvest is by unit specific B licenses. Regional biologists will still be setting the numbers of B licenses available based on where the herd is at in relation to unit objectives.
There are some units that allow either-sex harvest with the either sex elk tag but many of those units have pretty extensive public land. Public lands will not be open for antlerless harvest in the October season and elk which are dispersed from private to public because of hunting pressure will be safe until November.
