A couple of years ago while elk hunting in unit 37, ranch hands from the flying Joseph ranch were using trucks to herd elk back onto their ranch as the elk tried to leave at daylight. Has this problem been addressed?
Answer:
We have recieved calls such as this in the past and we have had our officers follow up on them. We have never documented employees of this ranch chasing elk onto the property. We have discovered that many poeple hunting elk around this property have been confused with ranch employees and their presence impedes elk movement on and off from the ranch property. We have had officers in the area multiple times over the last five years to address these complaints. We continue to patrol the area and work witht he landowner to address the large number of elk on private property. We appreciate this information and we will continue to patrol the area.
