Short answer

Some B.C. elk opportunities can be available under General Open Season rules while others require LEH. The answer depends on the exact region, management unit, season and animal class, so it cannot be answered safely with a province-wide yes or no.

How do I check?

Identify the management unit and dates, read the current open-season table and footnotes, then verify whether the opportunity is GOS or LEH and whether special-area rules apply.
