Elk Controlled Hunt Area Descriptions

Hunt Area 50-1X — Those portions of Unit 50 that are outside the National Forest System Boundary on or within one mile of private agricultural lands. The National Forest System Boundary is a legislatively set boundary — it is not necessarily the boundary of Forest Service property. State, private and other lands within the National Forest System Boundary are not open to hunting during this season. (Please refer to a U.S. Forest Service map for the location of this boundary.) “Private agricultural lands” are defined as privately-owned lands that are used for growing or storing plants for profit, in the form of pasture or stored feed for animal production, croplands, nurseries, vineyards, or orchards, but which do not include private timberlands. Private land within Unit 50.
