Q. I tried to apply for a controlled elk hunt, but the vendor couldn't get the POS'M to accept my hunt. According to the vendor the hunt is not available, but it's listed in our regulation book. What happened? A. If you tried to apply for hunt 2085, it won't be processed because that hunt has been cancelled. Hunt 2084, a later hunt in unit 37, is still available and has had 100 permits added to it. If you tried to apply for hunts 2073 (32-2) or 2089 (39-4) it won't be processed because these hunts are landowner permission hunts and are only available after July 15. The landowners in the hunt area receive permission slips, which they give to interested hunters. Hunters with permission slips can go to the regional offices in Nampa or McCall, or to the Boise Headquarters office, to get the tags and permits for those hunts issued.
