Notes:

  • Dressed weight was not measured in 2022
  •  “Rough” or unofficial scores are measured at the check station by DWR staff using Boone & Crockett American Elk scoresheets for elk killed with firearms and Pope & Young American Elk scoresheets for elk killed with archery equipment. Official scores are only obtained if the hunter takes their elk to a certified scorer after the designated drying period.
