7B is certainly well endowed with wildlife - all this despite management.

Just think what we could have if we had management instead if politics! Lol!

With the current FN concerns on moose harvest by non FN hunters, the chance that MOE will increase the non FN pressure in the area with increased Elk seasons is ......pretty much zero.....add to that the GO goal of selling 6 point hunts.......we bc rec hunters will not be getting any extra opportunities.

I see a lot of guys saying its a pre rut hunt and it should be open for the rut to make better opportunities but just curious if you look at posts here on the tuchodi most guys go for elk last 2 weeks of aug I have also wondered how a guy keeps meat when temperatures are usually in the high 20,s this time of year! I am planning a trip myself for elk but am finding it hard to pick best time to go I think this season is to early!

Exactly. So why keep it at a just 10 day 6 pt trophy season?

How else are the outfitters going to have easier pickin's on trophy bulls? The more 6 pt and larger bulls, the more and easier money they make.

Do the G.O have a longer elk season then residents? My understanding is they have to follow bc hunting regulations and seasons ?

Its an awsome hunt as it is !!! you actually have to go hunt those elk and there is nothing easy about it , its a good challenge and definitly seperates the caliber of hunters . if it was a full rut hunt i dont believe the population or class would sustain as being in that country sept 20th there is 300 - 360 class bulls on every second gravel bar, screaming in the middle of the gataga , generaly being love struck like bull elk get . sept 1-10 th your not killing a trophy bull on a gavel bar , you have to beat him at his own game in his bedroom !Attachment 4947Attachment 4947
