Elk
Overview Summary and Rationale
Reduce antlered tags in Unit 49 across multiple hunts and weapon types. Antlered tag reductions are needed to account for projected lower rates of bull recruitment. Efforts to model antlered elk have produced variable results. As such, proposed decreases are conservative at this time.
