Mid-October to early December is elk-hunting season in areas east of US 26/89/191,
west of US 26/89/191 along the Snake River between Moose and Moran Junctions, and
the Rockefeller Memorial Parkway. If you must venture into these areas during hunting
season, exercise caution: don a bright-orange vest and avoid elk-like behavior.
