Hunt Area 76-1X: Hunt No 2164 and 2165, any weapon, extra antlerless hunt. Extend season in Hunt No 2164 to Dec 31 and eliminate Hunt No 2165

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 region is proposing to reduce antlerless harvest in unit 76 where targeted efforts have been successful in moving antlerless elk abundance back within management objectives. The previous hunt allowed hunters onto public land which pushed elk on to private land.  Combining the two hunts reduces the number of tags to keep elk within objective and allows people more time to hunt them spreading hunters out.
