it's hard to understand the devastation that elk can cause. They can destroy thousands of dollars worth of feed every night, as they wreck 20 lbs of hay for every 1 lb they eat.

the thing is if an elk evan pee,s on or near a hay bale %99 of cattle will not eat that hay they dont like the sent of elk , if elk rub against a hay bale the cattle will not eat that bale, I do not codone calling in the poor poor natives as they will only be selling it down on 97 street edm , but i do beleive that if a farmer is haveing problems then special permits should be released on the farmers request, and thus payment for the permits should go for crop and feed damadge or a simalar program be put in place
