Filed as: Game, Fish and Parks Commission on amendment of Administrative Rules
The Black Hills elk hunting season rules now include hunting opportunities in Unit BHE-H4B from October first through October thirty-first and December first through December sixteenth, expanding the geographic areas where hunters can pursue elk during those periods. The total number of licenses available remains the same at eight hundred "any elk" licenses and one thousand five hundred "antlerless elk" licenses for the entire Black Hills season. These changes give hunters more hunting unit options while maintaining the overall harvest management targets that Game, Fish and Parks uses to balance elk population with hunter opportunity.
