Free to leave is dependent upon water year, lately the island is more of a pennisula. There will be a 40 inch buck killed out there, sad thing is you don't need a rifle or bow, they will come to you if you have some carrots then you can just choke one out. "Your just jealous", this is the usual reply about the selling of our wildlife to the highest bidder, now look, its not the DWR this time, its the legislature, wonder how much they will need next year? Look out black bears at hogle zoo, the state budget is short. This disgusting "hunt" is the conclusion to the "camels nose under the tent" or "slippery slope" argument, we all watched as the state set up CWMU's with all of there liberal seasons and regs for the highest payer(while I wait another 3 years to put in for elk, Dr. Austad and his ilk have hunted every year). We watched recently as $fw got there tags as a fundraiser, we saw a poor elk on the monroe harrased all year, then killed for $175,000, now we can watch as the "mighty" hunter(shooter) kills his big antelope island buck. Shouldn't be hard, you can stand on the road and look east(heres your inside tip so you don't need a guide), the bucks hang out on the waters edge.
God this is sad!!!
