Just got back from a week there and elk numbers at first seems a little less than the last couple of years, but some of the area have big (100+) herds, so maybe they were just grouped together more. We got two cow elk. Could have taken more if we had the tags. I talked to a fish and wildlife officer and he said the numbers are still going up, even with the available cow tags as high as they are. They were pretty much nocturnal this time of year, so you don't see them often in the fields.
On another note, Moose numbers were good as they have been in the past few years. Muleys seem to slowly be coming back, but whitetail look to have been hit hard last winter, we didn't see much in the way of nice bucks.
