It looks to me like the FWP is certainly bowing to pressure(dollars) from ranchers via the state legislature to open up public land to grazing and to reduce elk numbers to non-huntable numbers. Looking at what has been done in 380, 392, 391 and a few other zones nearby that I've hunted over the last decade bear that out. The FWP is giving out more cow tags than there are elk in most of these areas. That is blatant depopulation.
