How many of the ranchers who have "elk problems" run their cattle in the mountains or foothills in the summer on FS or BLM ( aka Public) land while haying their own and then bring the cows down in the fall?
Of course the elk come down.
Growing up in Wisconsin we had a neighbor who did custom combining. He'd combine all the neighbors'
corn and leave his till the snow was too deep. Then he'd collect for deer damage, which was worth more than his crummy crop.
Farmers and ranchers are generally the greatest welfare queens in America. Not a matter of hating or loving them, it's just a fact.
Ethanol anyone?
