So.....I don't know how many are tuned into the Wildlife Boards Elk Management plan meeting but a few things have changed.
-They are leaving the archery bull/cow permit alone. They aren't separating them into archery cow and archery spike as separate tags. Narrow vote.
-They are eliminating the multi-season Any-bull permits entirely. (Spike multi-season is still currently alive) This has passed and is done.
-2 Rifle hunts/split season will remain for spike and any bull.
-Have a 3 and 6 year review of the plan. I don't really support that. 10 years with like a 5 year review is reasonable. You have to give plans a chance to work.
Anyone else watching update as they continue. Sometimes it's kind of a cluster **** to me how the wildlife board ends up changing some recommendations the DWR makes. Personally I liked about all they came up with for this plan. Addressing point creep/opportunity and managing healthy elk herds should be top priority. Going to have to stop listening soon. So we'll see what else they do.
