There are definately lots of elk... On the True Ranch, Werner Ranch, Bell-Ott Ranch and Wagonhound Ranch... Wagonhound is getting $8500 for a bull this year... That's the problem with making it a general tag. The public land in area 7 is a zoo right now as it is. Archery season is no better... You make that area a general area and someone will end up getting shot on public land! The game warden said the same thing... within 2 days 90% of the elk will be on private land... Which is basically the same reason that they are over populated right now...
