[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1028749, member: 30671"] I put in more days at work, to pay for "a heck of a hunt" every now and then, than I should admit. All of it's getting harder to keep up with, enough for me to not waste resources, chasing game that does not exist. The graph of Unit 10 clocks exactly with on the ground reports I've had from reliable folks with a couple of decades experience in that unit. One friend wolf hunted it fairly hard a couple of years back. I can't recall how many days, but a lot. He saw 116 elk (probably some more than once), extremely low numbers from his experience. Kicker being only 1 calf. The 2013 Yellowstone elk count reportedly did not find a single carry over calf for the season. If it was ever about game management those days are gone. License sales are down, hunting requires repeat customers. Marketing can get them in the door the first time, but the experience on the ground isn't bringing 'em back. Grim numbers. [/QUOTE]
