Greeny,
8 Days is nothing, during the 70's and into the early 80's it was nothing to go out a week at a time and not see elk, numbers were on the rebound after a drop during the 60's. If we saw a elk we shot.
The Fish and game wants to reduce the elk back to that level me thinks.
They want recreation without the hassel's of checking game.
I'm hoping that things don't snow to much this year, as our local biologist has more than trippled the quota on cows elk. Right now the total elk harvested is less than what they killed on cows in one snowy day last year. With wolves out and about now you could over harvest the elk, they produce slower than deer, and with wolves eating babies, who knows, maybe people will go back to killing the first elk they see.
Our local elk population has really taken it into the shorts with the unlimitted cow hunt, people everywhere, and bulls that would normally make it are getting shot right along with the cows. So chin up Greeny, makes success mean alot more.
