New elk hunting opportunity in Sask. Thoughts?
- Thread starter saskgunowner101
- Start date
Not only that, but they're going with a blanket open war on antlerless elk in zones 1-55 when the majority of those zones CANNOT SUSTAIN A DRAW SEASON!!!
The actual biologists recommending draw quotas are saying that most of those zones cannot sustain a limited draw season, or if the herd can the quotas have to be very low, but now out of the blue and due to ridiculous pressure from Gov't buddies and farmers (who hold way too much power in this Province) we're getting an open antlerless season with zero quota, pick a zone you like and go?!?! This is not wildlife management, this is about Moe and friends...

I have a friend who is involved in municipal politics, Saskatchewan association of rural municipalities (sarm).
There’s apparently a small group of members who hijacked every meeting about anything with demands than problem elk be dealt with to the point nothing was accomplished. Their proposal was land owner tags or tags allotted to individual rm’s or some such thing.
This cull was initiated by government with no consultation to serm or science. It’s the government saying Phuk-ya-then we’ll just kill them all to silence what they view as a slippery slope to paid hunting.
My opinion from reading between the lines.

I won’t be participating, not because of ideology but we simply don’t need the meat. I’d caution anybody that’s going out to have permission granted well ahead of time and don’t expect to find cooler space. Also be aware that these elk have been pursued hard for six weeks already, draw season closes the day before the cull starts. Nocturnal.
I’m not happy about the timing either, that’s my favorite week to hunt whitetail and also the Canadian resident week. Land owner relations are going to take a beating imo.
