Ok, so i know that there are obviosly some mule deer management hunts where you can knock down a nice 3 point, but are there any elk management hunts for big ole 5 points? Maybe it's a stupid question that has already been asked on here but i was just curious, and would you all like something like that?
 
They used to have management hunts for elk on a few units. but they did away with them last year. because the hunt was in november and not september during the rut, they were killing bulls that were just young bulls not big old five points. a big five point bull is still a big bull and just like the big six points they hide up in the november and are hard to find. And alot of people that drew that management hunt are just road hunters and will never find those big five points.
 
Huh, i had no clue that they even had them. Hunting in november can be way good at times or way tough. Usually way tough, and a tough hunt and road hunters aren't a good mix. I'll bet they will bring it back sooner or later i'm sure.
 
They held an archery management hunt on the San Juan a couple years back. The draw odds were MUCH harder for the management hunt than for the LE Archery tag. Go figure. I never heard why they discontinued the hunt.
 
I think the problem was to many people where hunting for big broken bulls ,hopeing to fix them . Not hunting for bulls with bad genes with atleast five points on one side.
It should have worked if people would have gone after what they where surpose too.
It was a nightmare to inforce and check all of the hunters to see that they where realy shooting management bulls.
