[QUOTE="longrangehuntr, post: 841476, member: 25534"] I am looking at the long term effects. It is only 57 elk but i figure, a mature bull elk might have a harem of 10-20 cows each. My math is this, 57 bull elk, 50% will be mature bulls so lets just say 30 bulls. They each have a harem of 20 cows which only 50% survive. looking at roughly 300 elk potentially lost through just poaching. add the loss of elk through normal hunting, predators, harsh winters and ranchers dropping elk left and right and that is why the elk herds have low numbers.
