landowners get depro tags to sell and make up for what the elk eat. but he pays 3 dallors a month per cow to feed on national forest free range. tell me those cows are not eating alot moore than 3 dallors a month. if they had to feed the catle its moore like 3 dallors a day each for hay. and their would be moore forage to keep the elk above if the cows and sheep were not aloud on the foot hills just the high country. just another cycle for every action ther is a reaction. feed the cows the wild grass for cheep and feed elk expensive hay and bitch about it. i have a good freind with 3000 plus on dimond mountain. he gets over 50 tags each yr. sells the for 300 dallors each. 15k is alot of hay. he sells trespass permits for up to 3000 grand. he loves the elk to come in and why not? free money. some land owners figure out a win win others jst gripe about it.
