Fish, Wildlife and Parks is seeking public comment on proposed guidelines to establish elk hunting seasons before or after the existing archery and general rifle seasons. The additional seasons, called elk shoulder seasons, would be used where needed to reduce elk populations. A shoulder season could run from Aug. 15 to Feb. 15 outside the five- week general season. Comments will be taken until 5 p.m., Aug. 10. To see the proposal and comment, click HERE
