Just got a call from G&F and said I was selected for a management hunt for elk. I don't know a thing about these but I must have signed up to be on the list. It's either sex and requires a limited weapon (bow, shotgun, muzzy). They said this is only the 2nd year for these hunts which are in areas where wildlife is impacting ranch properties. Last year they had a 50% success rate (not sure if that was for the whole season or this particular timeframe). The map shows it's a relatively narrow area along the Rio Grand River and also includes some private properties. Unfortunately I cannot make the current hunt dates due to other conflicts but they said I'm fairly high on the list and might be called again as they run into Feb.
So, has anyone ever hunted this area before and what's your thoughts/advice on doing it if I should be called again?
