Is that on fed land? Hunting here is on your own property, or property you use or lease by agreement with the owner. I’m not surprised to hear that the govt even f***s up hunting-it is what they do to everything else they get their incompetent hands on...
Both fed and private land, our hunting districts encompass both. My land was elk calving land for centuries, but now wolf packs wake me up and the elk herds are long gone.
