Author Topic: SRD Blew My Elk Draw Possibly. (Read 4822 times)

JIMMY 808 · « **on:** July 04, 2012, 02:32:30 PM »

Basically what has happened is they changed the boundaries of zone 330 and 332 I was aware they were going to do this and I fought to keep them as they were. Long story short the head bio in rocky told me they were going to bring the southern part of the zone 332 into 330.

So I am reading the Regs and it says that the border for 332 and 330 is hwy 12 and 22. I just blew my cow elk draw and a buddies 3 years priority gone if I get the tag.
And to top it off SRD thinks the herd is no longer there. sure glad I take bring my dog big game hunting……..

Here is a pic of the elk in my back yard I won’t be hunting in the near future.

Jimmy can you explain the exact boundary change and how it effects the area. I've seen the proposed change and I can't see it being that big of a change unless you hunt a lot in that small area but I don't hunt that area.

Thats got to suck for sure. You would think they would have to leave things as they were until after hunting season or they should have confirmed any changes well in advance of the draws being out.

It is a small area for sure there are not too many of us that hunt there but a few. There is a small herd of elk in the area that runs up both sides of the river along the farm country up the NSR. The elk cross the river all the time and get pushed out of 330 on the west side to 332 on the east side.

So with the crappy wmu maps guys would end up hunting on the other side of the river and claiming they were still in in 330. Rather than enforce the boundary’s that were clear to see they opted out for the easy solution.

I just checked with the wmu map on line they have not up dated the map but in the regs it is a notice under changes.

At this point I have no idea what zone my property is and the land I hunt.

Sorry to hear that Jimmy. The best thing to do is call and cancel your draw so you don't loose priority. That does suck how dumb SRD is. They have sure screed lots up over the last couple years.

Justin I think I am going to go in to the SRD office in rocky and have them physically show me WTF they are doing… WMU map is not up dated with the change from what I can see. I will be sure to ask if I dump an elk any were in the area what will hold up in court.

The SRD stuck a small notice in the rocky rag paper that was the big announcement. I went to the office and asked the head BIO how I could stop this. I suggested that I could get every resident along the proposed zone change to sign a petition against this. 1 week later I got a email from SRD saying local support was in favor of the change.
Bunch of lying government workers!!!!

The proposed change to that boundary was announced last Feb. at the AF&GA conference. But it sounds like you knew the change was coming. Am I to understand that you put your draw in the wrong WMU anyway?

Yes deerman I was aware that they were going to change it I was unable to clarify with them to the exact boundary change. I am all most sure that the WMU map does not show the change. Worked out no one was drawn for elk.

Jimmy,

You blew the draw, not SRD. The changes were made, notifications were made, the EXACT boundary changes were identified, and you knew it in advance of putting in your draw.

You don't like the boundary change, fair enough. Make an effort if you desire to have it reversed .

"I will be sure to ask if I dump an elk any were in the area what will hold up in court."

Only one way to find out....

Can you please point out to me were and when they stated the EXACT zone boundaries. The south boundary is actually 22 and 12 not just 22 as posted above. I have not seen the new WMU map that is not digital is the change on it?
Thx

Jimmy 808, blaming someone else for your mistake is wrong on so many levels. Maybe you should suck it up princess and move on.
