Title: Mt. St. Helens Preservation Society Needs Your Help!
Post by: Practical Approach on January 13, 2011, 10:42:51 AM: I don't really want this thread to become centralized around the pro's and con's of feeding elk. I just wanted to get this info out to folks that might be interested.

I'm not giving you a hard time, it's a good idea to ask everyone. It's just they take so many elk in the winter grounds I thought they might want to help feed them while they are there killing.... sorry just had to say it. Really I do think it's a good program and we all should help if we can.

I do work with the tribes and I do send this out to them each year. I am not sure what level if any they contribute though. However, the tribes haven't hunted this herd since the late 90's. It is out of their ceded hunting areas.

Has it been that long since they were blasting elk from the hiway?
