If your hunting public, you can't pick and choose what other people do. Take it with good grace. Overlapping habitats and overlapping seasons are going to happen, no way around it.
Just did a little digging, to refresh/update my data.
I still stand by my original statement. I would at this point be willing to try my luck, and if legal processes were taken by the state or private individuals, I would fight them.
That is my position. I own no land, so maybe I am biased...
Moral, followed by ethical, followed by legal.
Unfortunately, breaking laws that are not themselves immoral constitutes an immoral action. Kind of peculiar circumstance therefore.
So, I guess it comes down to how important it is to hunt that land locked piece...and how likely it is someone...
Not much reason too where I'm archery hunting, but during rifle season there's some spots it might make sense.
So, possibly?
I think it's perfectly ethical/moral, which is what's important to me.
Same place, same gear.
Probably try to get out early season once or twice. Pick my camping spot better. Be active in the middle of the day. More cow calling, less bugles.
Good to know.
Yes sir, about to graduate with a bachelor's in mining engineering. There are no openings right now, but things could open up. I like Hecla as a company, so I think I will always keep my eye I on Lucky Friday.
Best of luck in your outdoor endeavors

Well,considering that my primary rifle was my Great Grandfather's (Who bought it new for a moose hunt sometime in the seventies when he was in his seventies), and my bow is about a decade old, I guess I fall into the 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' category. This philosophy of course comes...
I started putting face frames together in a cabinet shop in high-school. Held a number of different odd jobs since then. Ended up at the face in an underground coal mine for a couple months.
Currently busy going into debt in search of a Mining Engineering degree. Got two more semesters before...
Yup. Only thing to add is C zone, which geographically is between the B and X zones. Last time I drew a C tag it took 2 years? Easier to draw than X, and a little less pressure than B or D.
Grew up hunting Sierra Pacific in C and X zones. Glass clear cuts in the morning, and be willing to cover a decent amount of ground. One to two year old burns are great for feed, but it sucks rocks hiking through them. We had success generally on the edges of forest disturbance i.e. where clear...
Only ever hunted B zone once, during rifle season. Hottest driest deer hunt I have ever been on. I think we may have seen one doe? We'll done for killing something out there.
Just wanted to say thanks, and wow! This thread is a gold mine of information for new elk hunters.
I have yet to tag an elk (archery or rifle) but have hunted them in both Eastern Oregon and now in Southwest Montana where I live. Started bow hunting last year, and a lot of what people have said...
