I can't take it any longer!!! Anyone who has watched SWMT knows that this "migration" stuff started before the wolf reintro! I won't go so far as to say wolves didn't aggravate it some. BWalker pegged it, if you have LOTSA $$$$ you are more than welcome to come & shoot an elk here. In my professional life I have necropsied several head of cattle killed by wolves farther away from cover than this elk herd. Remember we are dealing with an animal that does 30+ miles a night traveling. 3-4 to cover is a pretty minor jaunt. Just out of curiosity why haven't I been called to necropsy dead livestock by any of the proximal neighbors?
When I moved into the valley I now live in(1972)there were NO whitetails in it. Not so anymore. Anyone can come up w/their favorite reason. I certainly have mine. But that phenomenon started in the late '70's. Hmmmmm....
I would rather embrace change than waste the energy to fight it. Who knows, we might learn something.
Cheers
