According to recent studies by researchers from the department, wolves are the primary cause of death in female elk in the Lolo and of calves more than 6 months old.
Finally!!!!
I think this is the first report I've read where the biologists are being HONEST about the declining elk numbers. To paraphrase our politicians: "It's the wolf, stupid!"
Glad to see some action being taken on this front.
Thanks for the ping, Jaz!
Amen...Idaho was hit hard by elk depredation from wolves, glad to see them acting quickly.
