No, not doomsday for the elk at all. The wolf, griz, elk, deer, etc., system worked very well for eons.
The reason I fought against the reintroduction was exactly the same as the circumstances that caused us to eliminate them in the first place. They don't play nice with where people live.
In a sense, it was the introduction of people into the area that caused the problem. Large predators don't coexist well where there are concentrations of man with domestic animals etc. The higher the people population, the greater the problems are that man has with a large predator population.
The situation is what it is though, and I'm sure we'll manage to deal with it. Bring on the wolf tags. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
