Idaho Fish and Game

Panhandle Region
Elk
Overview Summary and Rationale
Current cow harvest levels are likely causing elk herds in the southern portion of Unit 4 to decline. There are few depredations in the Unit 4 portion of Hunt 3-2. With a smaller hunt area, fewer tags are needed to address depredation issues in the southern portion of Unit 3.
