[QUOTE="corsair4360, post: 2006717, member: 63474"] I would suggest that the real problem is that the carrying capacity for elk (and other animals) has been drastically reduced due to fire in the late fall, when grass may not be able to grow until spring (after snow melt). My guess is that hunting will help the overall situation for animals in that area. Your area may be "overcrowded" with elk, due to the fires nearby and elk escaping the burned area. Large fires are particularly bad since they affect a large area, and alternatives for food are farther away than the animals are aware of. Colorado Game and Fish may capture them and move them if they can before winter strikes which it already has in Northern Utah. Supposed to be 7 degrees above Monday morning in Cache Valley Utah were we live and the mountains due east of our home are all snow covered [/QUOTE]
