Controlled Hunt Area 76-1X: Hunt No 2285, extra antlerless hunt, Jan 1 – Jan 15, with 50 tags, convert to private land only

Elk in the Diamond Creek zone are currently within management objectives (2023 aerial survey). Regional goals are to maintain good elk hunting opportunities while addressing conflicts. The previous hunt allowed hunters onto public land to harvest elk.  This caused elk to move onto private land, increasing depredation issues.  Changing the hunt to private land only keeps hunters where the depredation problems are occurring.
