Blue Mountain Elk Herd Report.
« on: July 31, 2011, 10:29:23 PM »
Personally I think this report is BS. Since in the report non of their bulls were killed by Sasquatch.  So obviously the Blue Mountain Mafia has corrupted yet another Government report.  But other than the omission of the effects that sasquatch has on our elk herds its a pretty good report.  THe attached link has the one page Intro of the report or you can click on the upper right corner of the WDFW page and read the whole thing. 

It's loaded with all sorts of the stuff we like to argue about such as Tribal harvest, effects of road density etc.  Here's a hint:  Road Density had a direct impact on harvest.  And the WDFW uses the politically correct term "nontrivial" to describe the effect that Tribal harvest has on the elk herd down there. 

Woodchuck, Pathfinder, runamuk and 400out, I may have been silently lately but I've still got my eye on your evil organization.  You may have won this round but I'll be back.  The truth will be HEARD!!!!

Oh yes Rosscrazyelk, the Blue Mountain Mafia's hired gun.  I figured you'd chime in on this one.  I'm sure you had nothing to do with the results of this report?   >:(

Duh!  Reduce roads and make it harder for hunters and poachers to access them then harvest will decrease.  Did we really need to waste state dollars on this?

We praise the Blue Mountain elk herd and we drool over  the permits to hunt those elk yet we blast the science that made that herd what it is? What should they have done, just let nature take it's course? Right....come on, man, give me a break.

NO, NO, NO - there is a VERY GOOD reason why bigfoot wasn't mentioned in the Blue Mountain report.  It's because bigfoot has NO effect in the Blue Mountains.  So, WDFW might have been more crafty then we initially thought and managed to circumvent the BMM and the intense pressure put on by them and their minions.  Yes, they have minions.

Despite what the BMM likes to pretend, the effects of bigfoot are wholly felt in Kittitas County and the Colockum elk herd.  As we all know by now, there are no longer any elk in the Colockum.  Despite the concern about elk mortality in the Blues, at least there are some elk there that can actually die.  Elk mortality in the Colockum is now 0% because there are no elk left there that can die and contribute to the statistics.

Quit pretending, runamuk.  We've all seen your BMM tattoo.
