Oregon normally has two general seasons in which you can rifle hunt
for Bull Elk. This is for either Rocky Mountain or Roosevelt Elk.
You must pick which type of Elk(by region) and which season you
want to hunt. This year the Rocky Montain Elk seasons are Oct. 30-
Nov. 3 and Nov. 9-17. (sorry, I don't have the Roosevelt dates with
me) This year Oregon closed all First season Rocky Mountain Elk
hunts to the general public. You can hunt First season only by
permit. The permits are issued by drawing and the quanities are
limited. However, most of the Rocky Mountain Elk regions closed
for First season are open to the general public for second season,
there are no limits on tags(other than non-resident) that I am
awhere of. My question is "What is the benifit of having a limited
number of hunters in the First season if there is no limit on tags
for the Second season hunt?". Does anyone know the reason or have
a good guess?
