Antlerless Elk Special License - good for calf?
Hi All
Just wonder if under this license calf(yearling) elk can be taken?
My understanding of Regs (page 40) is yes, but maybe I'm missing something.
Many thanks in advance
PS Called F&W office with the same question 3 days ago but they did not return my call yet.

If the elk meets the definition of antlerless, then it legal for you to shoot it.
No where does it say anything is defined by age.
Moose on the other hand........

What is the difference between an antlerless moose elk or deer license?

Major difference AFAIK is that calf moose requires Calf Moose Special License.
Under deer license (suppl or general, if WMU allows) you may take a doe or a fawn; and by the look of it Antlerless Elk S.L. also allows calf elk to be taken, if it satisfies definition of antlerless (I personally did not see antlered elk calves  but who knows).

This may be misleading. If you hold any "antlerless license" you can take an animal with no antlers.
If you have a "calf moose license" you may only harvest a calf, not a cow.
Just to make it clear for everyone.

A question for you. A calf license allows you to take a calf but not an adult antlerless moose. Where in the regulations does it state that you can't take a calf, if you have an antlerless moose license?

If there is no specific calf license and there is an antler less moose season you can shoot any antlerless moose even a calf.

Ok back to original post. What dick said is right. Antler less elk license allows you to shoot a cow or calf.

It is in general definitions:
Antlered – a white-tailed deer, mule deer, moose or elk having an antler exceeding 10.2 cm (4 in.) in length.
Antlerless – a white-tailed deer, mule deer, moose or elk that is not
‘antlered’ (as defined above).

Correct. At least that's how I see it.

Even if there is a calf moose season in that WMU your antlerless moose tag is good for a calf. Since calves are antlerless they fall under the antlerless definition.

Yes....but ask rhino81....a calf is a calf is a calf, even if it is a two year old calf! Lol
....seriously though, a calf is a yearling, a two year old is considered a cow.

Personally, I consider a calf, an animal less than one year old. Once it is in it's second year,(yearling) I consider it a cow, or a bull, depending on the sex. A yearling bull, usually qualifies as an "antlered" animal.

You are correct my terminology is off....
http://www.outdoorsmenforum.ca/showt...ght=Moose+calf
This thread is important for people to read who intend on getting calf draws....
A two year old moose is NOT a calf... It would be illegal to take one and put a calf tag on it.
