Last year the National Park Service under estimated the Elk population in Rocky Mountain National Park by 1000 animals which would have reduced the number to be killed. The state of colorado issued few elk licenses to hunters because of the mistake and said that they wanted to “build the herd”. Now the herd will gain hundreds of animals over the existing excess but the hunters that brought the elk out of extinction will not get any of the harvest.

Hopefully, the DOW will now lighten up on the Elk permitting all over the state.
