Have been there sine 1999. It is what it is. Good luck to all.

^^^ Your information is void, a dozen booners is laughable at best.

Even with a 100% success rate for 2000 tags the harvest will be just enough to start to reducing the herd size by 10-15%.
Those hunters that draw outside the base should benefit from the increased pressure within Suffield.
I expect that a P 9 will suffice to draw an Antlered Elk Suffield licence, some with fewer points will probably draw as well.
Next year, even less points will be required....

There will never be a 100% success rate and this cull is beyond doing anything but pizzing money up a rope sustaining numbers at best. This reintroduction of elk is the worst case of mismanagement that Alberta has ever seen.

This new hunt is the cherry on top of this provinces short term thinking and continual resident hunter screw over
Thank you.

The carded individuals are helping the cause here, not hindering IMO. They are welcomed by most private land owners in this area.
