It aint wolves, yet. Pressure that impedes breeding, competition with sheep, cattle, even horses, surprise weather that impacts calving,
CPW manages money. More hunters decreases success and may impact natural breeding. I had some guy tell me there were bulls all over because if all the bugleing but all he saw was orange. Go figure that one out.
I have never believed their counts,
Lot more humans bugleing than elk now days.
If CPW gave accurate counts of elk herds, no one would come to Colorado to hunt
