The segmenting of land by either conservationists or pay-to-play ownership certainly makes it a more complex problem. Sure seems like looser regulations or higher tag allocation could help combat the "super herds" while increasing sportperson opportunities.
I can understand the frustration of farmers, ranchers, and other landowners about elk-caused damage; we have the same problem in the Skagit Valley.
Still hard to read about professional hunters being paid to reduce herd numbers...Same debate as Catalina Island deer, Olympic Park Goats, or other problems ungulates regardless if its in Wyoming, WA, or elsewhere.
