Their is a list of problems that is going on in this state but it is time to address our GS elk.
So 60 to 70% of our elk population is on LE units.
I truly feel like we are going down a dark road and all where doing here is beating a dead horse.
We have two problems here and we can fix one.
So here is some Actual data in 2021.
56,078 sportsman applied for a LE Elk
2,756 tags available for LE elk
8,750 new sportsman that applied this year for LE elk with 0 points.
This is a problem and it looks like to me it is a problem that can't be fixed at all
The LE elk units are taking over our state and has been for sometime now and it has finally caught up to our GS Elk hunt..
We have a few choices here.
#1 we go unlimited Elk tags and deal with the crowding
#2 Go unlimited tags and split up the Rifle hunt and make it a A&B season hunt to reduce crowding and Open up what was proposed last year to shut down 4 LE units and open them to GS any bull units. (These 4 units only allocated 102 tags for LE elk)
There is no reason that we are having to deal with this especially now! we don't have a problem growing elk in this state.
We need to stop Catering to the LE elk units it's already to far gone and can't be fixed points creep is going to be horrible in 10 years he!! imagine in 20 years.
By all means throw out some ideas it needs to be Addressed.
Mark my words the DWR reads these...
