"That is true to a certain extent but it is difficult to quantify the amount of cows and calves taken"
That is part of my point, that is a part of "unregulated", the other part is the truckloads of Elk being killed.
Yes predator's, yes invasive weeds, access to the land, but.....if those with the access are regulated, I puzzle about what the problem with that is....
We cannot continue to ignore the truckloads of Female Elk being killed. I know that in order for landowners to be free of pesky Elk, killing Bulls will do nothing.
I will also suggest that.....depletion of the Elk, Moose, Deer isn't an accident. It is a strategy to further limit hunting/control of resident hunters.
The resource is in the process of being handed over under the guise of...they know how to manage the resource better because they have been doing that for thousands of years.
