So in Colorado the CPW has stated on record that they are growing the herd in SW Co by slaughtering the heck out of bulls (they estimate 13/100 before this is done) and drastically lowering the cow tags.
Elk 101 in the new Bugle magazine shows a study in Oregon that indicates that having fewer mature bulls to breed leads in a prolonged rut and calves born late. Which end ups hurting calf survival. Seems like calf survival is one of the big issues in SW CO? Makes you wonder.
