Laker: I bet there is a double lifetimes supply of Elk meat/liver in that one field alone.
One of my rancher friends relayed to me that each adult Elk eats 7 to 9 pounds of grass/crops per day!
Multiply 8 pounds of crop by 1,000 Elk by 200+ days and that comes to one hellacious amount of feed that this one rancher alone misses out on each year - he can't sell it nor can he feed MORE cattle with it!
I do so love Elk meat.
