either archery tackle or rifle during the general deer season in October now we expect this “Right success for both archery year’s elk hunters to be at least deer and as good as last year or even

success Archery elk hunters last year numbered 1526 and they took 77 bulls and 20 cows for a total of 97 animals and 7 percent success The reason some cow elk are taken is because last year as this

patience are requirements for successful archery hunts according to Dennis Shirley division information officer Not only should archers practice diligently before the hunts but they should also scout the area in which they plan to seek their game GOOD DISTANCE In addition an archer should never try to exceed his shooting capabilities Twenty-fiv- e yards is a good distance for downing big game with archery tackle said Officer Shirley With more archers in the field than ever before Jim Ware division chief of law enforcement cautions hunters to remember several hunting regulations “Wherever they go or whatever they do archers should not possess any type of firearms” emphasizes Officer Ware He also warned about hunting after dark with spotlights Hunting is restricted to official daylight hour
