Does this stem right to anyone? Today i saw a fairly large bull elk in region 2. Is there even a season for These? I am guessing not since the regs say nothing.

The elk have been re-introduced into the Pitt, Squamish, Mamquam and other river valleys in recent years. It's part of a government program to re-establish the animal's natural range.

Here's a post I made last year with some pictures and a news article (http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/showthread.php?72922-Roosevelt-Elk-in-Squamish-Valley-(trailcam-pic)).

And pics from Indian Arm (http://www.clubtread.com/sforum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=42783).

And a more recent news article (http://www.squamishchief.com/article/20120106/SQUAMISH0101/301069954/-1/SQUAMISH/squamish-area-elk-population-boosted).

Well that all was a huge surprise to me since i have never seen one or even sign of one in the area. Btw i was no where near the squamish area. Pretty much made my hunting season and its only three days in and i haven't bagged a single thing yet.

I think if it isn't in the regs, it is open all year round.

I'm sure there's a c.o.r.e. course coming soon to your area

Try and identify properly a set of tracks,which have been rained on,baked in the sun,rained on etc,etc for months !!!
