Well... if they fly into Cranbrook, then the giveaway supports an outfitter that likely know.
That is a good thing , because hunts are tough to sell these days. I have outfitter friends that are way undersold this fall.
I am always a little suspicious of the agenda behind any of these " promotions" however.
I our region( to the Alberta border) Elk numbers are miserably low, motor vehicle access to the spur valleys is extremely high.
Bull Elk must be 6 point, and they are rare on crown land, these herds now live on private land.
As a landowner, It is much easier to tip over a Bull on my own land, than in the traditional ' high basins' of my youth.
Our outfitter's are really struggling because of these habitual changes.
Life has changed, my friends
God Bless
