The San Luis Valley in Colorado has a summer season for elk along the Rio Grande River. Units 791 and 682 are a no tolerance units for elk. Which I think is crap but you got all the farmers and ranchers complaining about elk eating their food therefore they get to slaughter elk for the better part of the year. I have been personally against this since the beginning. If they want the elk to stop inhabiting private ranches maybe they should stop hunting them so long in the mountains and take some of the pressure off them. Just my 2 cents.
