Idaho's Fish and Game Department (big game management) does not receive any tax dollars and is self-funded except for the occasional grant. If we didn't charge more....a lot more, we'd be overrun with even more californicans. The woods, trails, back roads, ridges and camping spots are already...
you've got to be a special kind of stupid and arrogant (or really naive) to hunt elk at range with a 6.5 CM. sure, shot placement is critical but come on!! Get a good 30 or 33, shoot/practice A LOT and harvest humanely. I love both my 338WM and 300WM for elk
