By coincidence just this past week Elk have begun their now annual reverse migration and are herding up on lowland private ranches!
Largest "batch" I have seen is 200+ on a ranch that at the "height" of the "hide from the Wolves, hide from the Hunters" new habit, had over 2,200 Elk on it last October/November/December.
On a fly fishing (grasshoppers are out!) jaunt to a high mountain lake last week myself and my two fishing partners saw exactly NO Elk in country that used to be (15 years ago+) FULL of late summer early fall Elk!
Sad commentary on a situation that gets worse every year now.
So again, the answer is the Elk in my neck o'the woods are changing their century long habits and hiding from Wolves on private ranches as best and for as long as they can.
Thanks for nothing rmWf!
