Special Elk Season opens in Peace

Friday, March 16, 2007 11:32 AM

The Ministry of Environment will immediately implement
an open season for antlerless elk in British Columbia's Peace region to
help address the ongoing issue of wildlife/agriculture conflicts.

The open season applies to Management Units 7-20, 7-21, 7-32 to 7-35,
7-44 to 7-46 and 7-58 on private property and Crown land within 1,000
metres of private property.

This open season starts immediately and runs until March 31, 2007 or
until 72 hours after the regional manger informs the public that the
season will be closed, whichever occurs first.

Hunters must report their kill within 48 hours to the Fort St. John
regional office by phone (250 787-3411) or in person. The date and
location of the kill must be reported.

This special opening, which was authorized under the Wildlife Act, has a
separate one-elk limit in addition to the normal antlerless elk limit.
Hunters may use any uncancelled elk tags from the fall 2006 hunting
season or purchase new tags

I think I know what you are saying wrinkledawg, now thats not P.C!
But, if I may put forth an opinion, we should be maligning lawyers, past and present. I believe that those involved are the chief (no pun intended) cause of the mess we are in today, not the average person, of any race.

How about open season on antlerless deer which cause many a highway wreck. Deer populate like mice.
