Magic Valley Region
Elk
Overview Summary and Rationale
The zone is above objective for bulls based on the 2021 abundance survey. Increasing tags and allowing either sex harvest helps maintain some of the antlered opportunity from eliminated hunts. Shifting the season dates reduces the probability hunting access will be limited by winter weather.
