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.

. It may also have something to do with the ranches no longer allowing much hunting. The elk like to avoid all types of hunters, two legged or four. Bingo! IMO. Time for a law similar to Alberta that disallows leasing or selling hunting rights, maybe. Bullcrap. Don't even try to bring that line of thought out here.
