Some good information in that article.
For those that don't understand how FWP manages elk, here's a link to the Elk Management Plan.
http://fwp.mt.gov/fishAndWildlife/management/elk/Politics (aka landowner "social" tolerances) have a whole lot more to do with population control than wolves ever will... Something like 85 of hunting districts in MT are at or over objective population wise according the plan. Many areas have population numbers based on what landowners are willing to tolerate and nothing to do with carrying capacity.
