"I hate elk" I don't know about others on MM but I hear this more and more every year when talking with others about Mule deer and some of the problems that they are faced with. I find myself agreeing with them whenever I go out to look for deer in places that have always held deer and all that is there is elk. I have even heard it said that the only reason to hunt them is to have a chance to kill them. I.e. the only good elk is a dead elk or an elk in another state.
The first elk to start showing up in my neck of the woods was it the late 80s early 90s and since then they have moved into most areas that never had elk but DID have great deer. We have some country that is crucial winter habitat for Muleys, and now when you hike in there all you will see is herds of 30-40 elk and NO deer.
I'm afraid I'm starting to "hate elk" as well.
