Blue Ridge Special Management Area Elk Hunt

Special Access Elk Hunt on Blue Ridge

Blue Ridge is divided into two areas: the Blue Ridge Special Management Area and the Burnt Lodge Type 1 Block Management Area.

Hunting on the Blue Ridge Special Management Area is restricted to bull elk through a special access drawing for hunters who hold 620-20, 620-21, 622-20, or youth hunters who hold 699-01 elk tags.

All other hunters may access the Blue Ridge property through two designated walk-in routes to adjacent public land (as seen on the map below).

In 2025 archery hunters will be assigned 4 day windows to hunt and rifle hunters will be assigned 3 day windows to hunt.

The 2025 Blue Ridge Special Management Area elk hunt drawing is now OPEN!
