Can I hunt general elk in Dec. with a controlled elk tag?

You cannot hunt a general season period with a controlled hunt tag.   The controlled hunt tag only allows you to hunt the species and sex in the area with the weapon for the period stated in the Seasons & Rules for the particular controlled hunt.   Controlled Hunt 2136 is only good for either sex elk with archery 9/6/15 - 09/30/15 or any weapon 10/10/15-10/24/15 in Controlled Hunt Area 1 (all of Unit 1).
