Elk in Region 5

[300rum700]

We saw a huge cow elk just south of Quesnel this summer at 1:00 in the afternoon, right beside Hwy 97. Also heard them bugling when fishing on Dewar and have seen them on private land by Horsefly,,, so yes they are around, but will be years before we get a chance on them.

I've heard 2020/2021 but at this point it's just a rumour from the BCWF so I'll believe it when I see it. I've also heard the government is scared to see what the Indians will do to the hard once there's an leh and haven't put a draw out for that reason.

A 6 pt GOS even with that few, would put more of a fear in them...from what I hear the stewards of the land are doing, a healthy fear of man would be good in the herds of reg 5...

Hmmm very good point ...3 years ago a massive trophy bull elk was tranquilized and its massive rack was sawed off ..hmmm to remove the potential for harvest in a area along the highway by 100 mile house on private property..used to eating alongside the ranchers cattle.

Can't get it to post. Tried every different way I know how to.

There was a heard of 7 near Horsefly. 3 years ago the natives killed a bull. They killed the second bull the next year. This year they killed 2 cow elk. 3 left for the wolves, if the natives don't get them first.

Yes...but it was later shot by an area rancher...

There is a stud of a bull with a cow along the highway on the southern end of Reg 5. A native gentleman has already asked permission several times to shoot it as it is hanging out on private property. Only a matter of time before it slips up and takes a step on to crown. Too bad as it would be cool to have an leh opportunity there some day
