However did those poor elk manage without human bodyguards?
wow...i don't remember seeing that many all at once when I used to live/hunt in that area in the 90s.They weren't here in the 90s. They were imported from Canada, put in Yellowstone and they migrated to the Big Horns after destroying the elk herds in the NW part of the state.
These arn't native to Wyoming, idiot humans imported them.
MQuail, thanks for posting that link. I recieved the picture in an e-mail. I hope these wolves don't become a problem in the Big Horns, but I know I'm hoping in vain. They have been seen, not in the packs pictured, but they are showing up.
The Big Horns are my favorite place on earth, and I've seen some nice places (spent 22 years all over Alaska).
They've even started showing up in th Black Hills.
