[QUOTE="TheHardWay, post: 1516909, member: 23905"] I live in SW Colorado and read this as the Durango Herald ran this same story. One thing I don't buy into is the statement that predators are not an issue. Bear and lion numbers appear to be up. In the last several years, as a ranch manager, I have run across lion kills on the property I care take. It is only ~1800 acres. Expand those instances to the million plus acres of the San Juan NF and surrounding areas and I'm sure you'd find a lot more. That brings up the topic of wolf reintroduction. It makes no sense to restore an apex predator that is known to be detrimental to elk populations when the elk populations are already hurting. [/QUOTE]
