[QUOTE="mustang58, post: 487649, member: 25097"] I don't think you will ever see them gone in our life time. Having said that though we might see them reduced to a number we can live with alot better than the number we have now. I have seen the elk numbers go from not too many to alot in my life time here. I have seen elk at the peak. I don't think they will ever reach that number again. I sat on a high ridge last winter in the head of Colson Cr. I could see for 5 or 6 miles on the other side of the Salmon River. Total elk count that I could see was 14. There used to be 50-100 on every ridge. The Fish and Game still won't admit they have a problem,at least the ones in the Salmon Office. Talking about keeping their(wolves) numbers down with rifles, we couldn't even kill the quota set last winter. How pathetic is that. We like to puff our chest out and think we are Rambo at times, but the truth of the matter is we aren't good enough hunters to control wolves with rifles. Wishing you all the luck in your move to the Clearwater. Just wish there would be some elk there to hunt or look at when you arrived. I'm not concerned about myself. I have killed between 40-50 elk in my life time and if I never kill another I am fine with that. I know though thast there are hunters that are young now that maybe will only get 2 or 3 chances in their life time to hunt them in this state. [/QUOTE]
