Rocket Dog and I went to both the am and pm meetings.
The 54-55-551 meeting was heavily attended. Best turnout
in the last 10 years for a tags meeting. the limited elk issue
was not addressed but was still clearly evident. Gunn basin
lost 40% of its deer from 08 winter. 40% of the elk calves
also died as shown by this years spike count(from 12-15
to 8-10 per 100 cows). From a max tag allotment for deer
in 2007 a 55% reduction in buck tags followed by another
20% this year in units 66-67 and similiar for the N. units.
Elk and deer harvests for all the Gun units were well below
the previous year, ex. unit 55 bull harvest 2007 411
bull harveat 2008 273. Same for all the N. units deer and
elk. Units 66-67 stable on bull harvest deer way down.
There will be a meeting around May 1 in Gun to address the
limited elk N units. Roy
