The Fish and Wildlife Commission approved changes to elk shoulder seasons in several hunting districts at its meeting on Aug. 20.
All changes apply to this coming hunting season. However, no early shoulder seasons were added.
Elk shoulder season changes made by the commission:
Elk shoulder seasons provide the ability to harvest more antlerless elk. Several hunting districts remain above population objective even with late shoulder seasons. The extension of the late season is intended to increase antlerless harvest or alter elk distributions. The extension applies to all elk licenses and permits valid for shoulder seasons in these hunting districts except in HD 314.
