They used to have a cow elk hunt in unit 50 open within 1 mile of a cultivated to help ranchers keep down the numbers. Are there any plans to bring that back?
Answer:
We are looking at reinstituting the greenfield hunt for antlerless elk in Unit 50 upon the approval of the Idaho Fish and Game Commission. Public meetings concerning this topic and any other changes to big game rules and seasons will be held in early 2015 in various cities throughout Region 6. If the greenfield hunt is supported by the commission then the hunt will go into effect in the 2015 hunting season.
