Suffield Elk Hunt

[Hawk53]

This is a question for those that have been to the Suffield Elk Hunt. This may seem like a silly question but it came up in conversation.
Are the hunters helpers allowed to bring a rifle into the area?
Thanks in advance.

I believe its one rifle per truck. Even the hunter is only allowed 1 rifle as I recall

[slopeshunter]

helper > no.

It isn't one rifle per truck. Hunters only though. Helpers not allowed to carry.

It is one rifle per hunter. You can have 3 hunters in 1 truck all with rifles.

But they will check your guns, and they will check who has tags upon entry to the base.

Thanks Guys

Don't forget to bring your PAL as well they actually do check. One other thing on your last hunt when you leave your hotel room don't pack your half empty bottle of whiskey its very easy to forget when you go to pack up your hotel room but be expected to be searched.

Also.. on a side note.

Be VERY careful to abide by proper gun in vehicle regulations.

They can and will stop you ON base to check. Several guys got busted while we were out having loaded ammo in the chamber, no trigger locks etc etc while driving.

They have roving patrols all over the base, checking for ANY infraction of ANY kind. and yes they will search your vehicle and bags at these stops.

we were stopped twice, but abide by the rules so they searched and let us continue on.
