I'm no expert on the matter by any means but I don't see what it can hurt. In fact I think it's great to have elk re-introuduced into other states. The people that are doing it are not morons. They only take elk from herds that can withsatand the population decrease. I hope all the states get huntable populations and then we won't be overcrowded with hunters here in Colorado. Hunters will also not have to buy out of State tags and save some dough. I see it as a good thing.
