    Have the regs been updated since this announcement?
    Have a read. Likely LEH only for moose. Decent opportunity at elk in there though.

    How would you all feel “if” they completely closed 7b season for all species for the month of Aug and first 2 weeks of Oct?

    The press release from May 19 calls 7-42 a remote region, and seems like it will have a GOS for spike/tri/10pt this year.

    1. Management Units 7-36, 7-42, 7-43, 7-50 to 7-54, and 7-57 (Liard and NortheastRockies zones - Remote Management Units): General Open Season from September 1 to September 30 an

    How badly they screw us next year remains to be seen.

    See this kind of idea I have seen wreck an area. When you bottleneck all traffic to a small sliver of time, there is absolutely ZERO places for the game to escape to. I have hunted some mule deer wintering grounds all of my life. It was traditionally open for 4 point all of November. This would spread out the pressure and the animals had places to escape to as well as the ability to breed. Now that it is closed for a 10 day section, there are far too many people there for the few weekends that are open. The game has almost ZERO chance to escape. If this happened to a sheep area, there will be zero breeding stock left come november....
