Elk habitat isn't defined strictly by National Forests. Lots of great winter range is on private property.
yep , which means the winter range is particularly limiting ; and also not suitable for wolf colonization .
I'd like to see this place in the lower 48 where wilderness runs 300 miles solid.....
the Selway -Bitteroot and the Frank Church go maybe 120 miles north to south , and they are not all that wide east to west as the crow flies....
