elk
YAHA tinda had 2400 elk in the late 1990's. It now holds about 250.
The grizzly bears eat approximately 90% of the calf crop each year and the elk have moved east to get away from them. From SRD biologist.
I hunted 108 this fall, late season. Had a blast and found what the others have said. Do you want a great hunt experience or a big bull? My hunt was exactly what I wanted. Tough and with a good chance at a 6x6 in a good shooting situation. Not dictated by score in any way shape or form, just to impress myself.
My wife had a tag in late season around Suffield a couple years ago, same type of hunt and result. I usually hunt in the mountains and the prairie hunts are pretty neat by comparison, lots of visibility and the buggers can still vanish with no vegetation.
