Yep, one herd lives within the city limits of Concrete.   :chuckle:

I almost got one of the bulls from this herd last fall with my car.  :bash:

Idaho, Mt had the same elk problems do to wolves, they couldn't drive the elk back with helicopters, wonder if it is the same problem here.

Some places the elk just like the easy living and abandon the migratory patterns.  Farms and gardens with no predators or severe weather are kind of nice for some animals.

“We need to be smarter than the elk" - said WDFW

Now I know we're in deep trouble :chuckle:.

Maybe a coalition opportunity?

State Sen. Keith Wagoner, a Republican who represents eastern Skagit County, said he favors letting landowners shoot an elk (WOLF) causing damage without waiting for a permit from Fish and Wildlife. “I think when the elk are causing an economic hardship for a person, they have the right to protect their investment,”

Let's not forget that the USFS has collated a black wolf between the Skagit and Sauk river...

But yes these elk were problem elk from Mt Saint Helens area transported in the 70s??? They have a long history or causing trouble in the valley.
