One of the HMAs in my area does not open until Oct. 12th, elk area 23. My question is the HMA area encompasses 141,000 acres and much of it is public BLM lands with legal access off the Dry Creek road. The area opens on Oct. 1 for hunting but the HMA does not open until Oct 12th. Can I hunt these legally accessible BLM lands even though they are technically a part of the established Rattlesnake HMA on Oct. 1st? Not sure what is considered legal now with these new HMAs, very little experience using one. Any help appreciated. Any tips on elk area 23 also appreciated as it's my nephew who has a youth elk permit and would like to get him a branch antlered bull.
