I have always wondered what happens to the sheds that fall right at the feed station? I mean within a few hundred yards of the fence in site. Employees snatch them up?

They use to let Boy Scouts in early for the easy ones. Or some type of young folks group? :dunno:

I thought I had heard they collect them and auction them at the end of the season to help pay down some of the feed costs.  :dunno:

I remember the good old days when there were 2500 to 3000 elk at the station. you could look clear down to right and see nothing but horns and elk. Well you can guess what happened! Sad Times! >:(
What happened?  Please enlighten us.
Hmm, really?  Maybe they migrated to Idaho..

over harvest by local tribes, (jerky man and his crew), predators are another big reason, wolves on top of cougar and bear populations.  I would also say part of the blame goes to wdfw handing out way too many cow permits a few years ago.  Just my humble opinion.

I think your right. I was thinking the Wyoming program out of Jacksons Hole where animals are properly managed............

Lots of debate on that one.  I hunted the elk reserve and got a dose of opinions as well as history and biology.  I watched a documentary, if I can remember where I’ll link it. 

I’m not smart enough to have an opinion on elk feeding in WY, but do have an opinion on the lack of management back here.

The employees pick up the ones that dont get poached and auction them off every couple years .

Then you have the guy that sits on Chinook Pass every day and watches the herd on that side . He then tells his kids where the bulls drop and they go get them at night .
