G&F feeding elk to prevent landowner conflicts?

[jm77]

I'm surprised they are not opening another Auxiliary Season instead. There are two already approved and killing elk.

Well, Wyoming G & F is, whether admitted to or not, a wing of the Wyoming Stockgrowers Association. So, ya, not surprised

If you don't believe, just get into a disagreement with a land baron or blm rancher............you'll find that the G & F will always default to their interests

Why not try those hunts on here in 7 and 6?
They did for what 1 or 2 years I think and stopped.
It's late but for population control what better way to get some cows and future offspring reduced ?

Just thinking aloud here.

Without a doubt there will be an auxiliary hunt in 6 or 7, however, based on the landowner, those hunts may or may not go out to the public. The landowner may choose their own hunters.

Do you have a link about the auxiliary season? First I’ve heard of it.
