Wife and i went to bar at 4 and it is now 11:30.
Met with guy who lives south of peace gardens. Said on Sunday him and his friend counted over 270 Elk in his pasture after several counts.
Went to friends land and counted over 170 at his pasture and then to another spot and after over 100 counts went home. Number of bulls and he felt some where nice. Now for shed hunting for me.
Now some have told me so what and maybe so what.
But friend stated the Elk have done so much damage to fence, hay, ect and game and fish have also told him so what.
He said his friend flew a plane with others and after 3 passes on US side average a count of over 900 Elk.
Not sure how many tags are issue up there but there is a problem IMHO.
So for what it is worth and game and fish has told me over the last five years also so what, there is an issue.
Another friend had an Elk tag. After feeding his cows in the morning went up to some of his land by border. A bunch of Elk out there including 7 bulls. Pick the largest out and end of hunt. Just like shooting his cow in a pasture.
Game and and fish there is an issue believe it or not with Elk up there. db
