@hogo1 are the normal numbers you are talking about the numbers from the late 19th century, when the elk were close to being wiped out?. Elk were found in most of the lower 48 states at the time the Europeans came to North America, and because of stupidity and over hunting, the elk were almost eradicated. Because of the efforts of conservationist and organizations like the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, mostly made up of sportsman, that the elk herds rebounded to the levels we see today.

Thanks, Scott, for the honest and raw video! Yellowstone IS dead.......and if you visit, you'll be gravely disappointed.
-
There is a specific reason for getting rid of the animals by the government! They want the land, and they want to do specific things with the land, which means no animals, slowly they will decline intentionally.

@jtpurser No one? Really? Plenty of sportsmen and tapayers, even politicians have advocated removal or at least severe control/management measures be taken. No one? Hahahaha
-
@12stewaw1 Well this is obviously not true, we can hardly do enoug to control the population.
-
@51Wence And if they would have made the same rehabilitation efforts toward wolves instead of introducing wolves from other areas, we wouldn't be in this mess now!

@miskamom A PHD you got and sitting at a desk is of NO satisfaction to us who are feeling the shaft of living in this mess.

@12stewaw1 They are delisted here and an 80% decrease in their populstion is what is required to get them back to the original recovery goal. You know, the deal that the wolf activists reniged on. Big surprise that the wolf lovers are liars as well.
This comment has received too many negative votes show
Wolves aren't decimating the Elk herds, they are returning the numbers to normal levels. And if they do overshoot it will only drops their own levels.
See the Lynx and Hare population studies.

There is much to be said for basing your opinion on fact rather than unfounded opinion. This is clearly a non factual based opine of people with a personal bias. If you want to see what has happened to yellowstone park (the actual echo system including but not limited to the elk) you would be well advised (if of course you care about being correct )

@miskamom
Would a PHD satisfy your demand for an explanation if the fraudulent science that has been sold to the American People?
