As the conversations about declining mule deer populations continue, the reasons for the decline usually include, Mother Nature, habitat loss, predators, technology, to many doe tags, exc. I see multiple states experimenting with these problems to try, and increase populations, but has there ever been some research on taking a unit that is over objective for elk and purposely reducing elk populations in said unit with aggressive cow hunting?
I believe Robby talked, about some sort of a study on the rokcast last year, but that’s all I have heard about it. In my opinion, if it hasn’t been done it needs to be. I know this will ruffle some feathers with the elk community, but I’m very curious. The old timers in states like Colorado, claim when the deer numbers were thriving, it was difficult to find a raghorn bull.
