We need more state officials who are willing to take back power that the fed gov't has illegally (according to our U.S. Constitution enumerated powers) usurped in this and thousands of other areas of our daily lives.
BTW The feds own stats show in the past 16 years since they release Gray Wolves into Yellowstone, Elk population has dropped around 70% from that peak. What's changed during that time? More big predators (e.g. wolves, grizzlies) that have had a big effect on the Elk calf survival rate in particular. Fewere calves making it to adult, fewere Elk.
