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
Do you have any idea how many Elk are taken on private land?
I do.......... if anyone wants to know where the missing Elk are...... start there.
