I know this as I live here and have seen it happen many times. Also there is a tremendous amount of private land some of which is in Ranching for wildlife and they start early. I belive the herd to be in good shape as far as numbers but the trophy quality is not that good. Scott,

It sure seems that earlier years produced many more opportunities. We hunt right off the west side of bears ears mtn. during the first season. In the earlier years, 2000-2005, we would even be able to harvest elk on the third and fouth day of season. The last few years it seems that if you havnt filled your tag by noon on the second day you are not going to. I understand that this is probably not a fair judge of herd size, but it sure seems as though the herd is signifcantly smaller, judging only by field observation during heavy pressure on opening weekend of the first season. I struggle to find up to date information regarding this topic. Is there somewhere you can direct me for more up to date info? I have also noticed a higher percentage of small bulls. Two years ago I never saw a cow, only small spikes and a few 4 pt bulls. Normally I could count on seeing anywhere between 30 and 50 cows over a three day period. Last season we were three of five (all cows of avg. size) and this is pretty typical of our camp, but they were all killed by 10 am on Saturday morning. I get it that they high tail it out of there when the shooting starts, but like I said earlier years produced more opportunities on later days. To me, this is an idicator that the herd is much smaller. I dont mind "hunting" for my elk, but I would hate it if the herd size was misjudged and more tags were issued and then the herd becomes unerobjective. I am just a concerned out of state hunter who loves the west and loves to hunt elk, successful or not. I have been hunting the “Bears Ears” herd for about 10 years.
