Just to let all people concerned about the elk on dutton,boulder,monroe they are increasing the cow elk permits. they are opening conrtol tags for cow elk on the dutton unit, that means anybody with any tag can purchase a cow elk permit for $30. As a sportsman who spends almost everyday on these units, we are in trouble if sportsman dont start to speak up. there are 900 cow elk permits issued for the boulder, the unit is managed for 1500 total elk! There are 700 cow elk permits issued for mt.dutton this unit will also have unlimited number of control permits for cow elk! I attended the rac last night in beaver, and the cattleman won again they increased the number of cow elk permits an additional 250 permits for these units. The future of our elk on these units is in jeopardy. Also dont look to the sfw for support, they take the money from the conservation permits, which they make more off of elk than any other species, but yet agree with this slaughter of elk! The sfw member at the rac last night agreed with all recomendations. I am concerned that if we keep letting the cattleman make the decitions of our wildlife all we are going to see on the mountains are cattle!!
