I have access to a cabin for the late season archery bull elk hunt along the rim. The land owner has given me permission to hunt this land, but I wanted to get some input as to whether it would be legal/ethical to take an elk on the property with a bow as it is in close proximity to other cabins/residences. The cabin sits on about 1/3 acre with other cabins spread on about equal sized lots. The land owner was telling me that he had several groups of bulls on his land last year the week before Thanksgiving, which would be the same time of year as my hunt this year, so there is a good chance I might see something the week or so that I'm staying there.
My question is, is it legal to take big game with a bow in this type of setting? From what I've found in the regulations there doesn't seem to be anything prohibiting it.
Also, it seems if I did shoot an elk it would be highly likely it would go down on someone else's property. What would be the protocol is such a situation?
Any input would be appreciated, as this has been on my mind since drawing the tag and gaining permission to use the property.
