The Elk herd in the Chequamegon seems to be doing fine. It was never suggested that we would be hunting them in a few years. Other then the bears getting a couple of the young this year, and the mild winters we have been having, they are real healthy. I have not seen them, but a few nice bulls have been spotted and photographed. A drive down Hwy 77 towards Claim Lake or around the Loretta area, and you might get lucky and see one along the road, but you better be lucky. I hope they stay in the forest, off the roads, and that someday their numbers will be such that, a hunt might be possible. If not, at least they are in the forest, and if CWD don't get them, they might keep reproducing, and maybe my grandchildren might be able to hunt them.... Stay safe out ther, and good hunting
