LAST EDITED ON Jan-30-11 AT 10:06AM (MST)[p]reading the paper this morning. the yellowstone elk herd was 20,000 back in 1994. today it is 4,635 elk. they go to blame the drought more than anything else.
its funny that is when about the wolves were brought in.
jake clark {outfitter and who donates tons of money to the rocky mountain elk foundation} said these wolves need to be controlled and the paper says there are 600 grizzlies he thinks there are over a 1000 bears. and i agree with that. he was no problem sharing the woods with bears and wolves he just wants to see some managment.
he had to close his best outfitting camp cause the wolves wiped out so much.the camp brought in 100,000 a year and was spent locally. and jake is a good man for all he donates.
the paper really upsets me during the calving season hundreds of calves are killed. they state that the eagles come in and kill them and never state nothing about bears and wolves..they also go on and say that this year they did a poor count.
terrible writing for not stating the real facts..
not trying to start a bunch or arugments here just thought i would post the info from the aritcle
