But it has demonstrated and well By Walt Fitzgerald Big Game Biologist Great What- was once the American Elk Hunt" evaporated like a dream, and was for many years but a memory of times past. By the early 1900s, Rocky Mountain elk had dwindled from a continental population., of perhaps 10 million animals, to remnant populations totaling about 90,000, found only in strongholds of western America. However, since that period, a great effort has been made to reintroduce big game species buck into their native habitat. Elk were fairly widespread and abundant in Utah before the pioneers arrived. Early settlers hunted elk and other big game as a source of food. They were very efficient in the quest for big game, particularly elk. As early as the 1880s, the native game heards were severely depleted. By the early 1900s, the only elk left in the state were a remnant herd in the Uinta Mountains. Elk transplanted to Utah from the Yellowstone area provided the seed for today's herds. During recent years elk have flourished in Utah. The current population is about 25,000 animals. Elk numbers and range are expanding, with no indication of problems due to lack of habitat. It appears that the future could be bright for Utah elk. We are at a time of important decisions with respect to elk management. Utah has a good potential from a habitat standpoint, but concerns about elk are growing among some groups. Some livestock people are concerned about damage problems created by elk. At the same time, public interest and support hr progressive elk management is at an allrtime high.

Money collected from big game hunting licenses and elk permits can more than offset damages caused by the animals. Carnage such as depredation on haystacks can be eliminated through fencing provided by the Division of Wildlife Resources to landowners who have legitimate damage problems. landowners play host to an enormous number of elk and deer most Indeed, every winter. critical big game winter range in Utah is on private land. Hunters must get away from the attitude that all landowners are "ripping off" the system when they receive compensation for depredation or fencing supplies to prevent damage. Certainly, there are a few who have taken advantage of the system. But more often, the rancher has suffered depredation problems and has not said . anything. For the most part, the ranchers and farmers of the state enjoy wildlife, but can't afford to support them at the expense of their livelihood. Ranchers and farmers were among the first groups to recognize the plight of wildlife last winter, and they were strong supporters of efforts to save big game herds.
