In S. E. OH they are trying to build a herd. In vinton county they brought in 3 about 4 years ago. "in a secured area" Last I herd there is now 7. I see them at the feeder behind a fence at least once a week as they are about 4 miles from me and I go past them going to town. Once they get to 30 they plan to take down the fence and hope they will contnue to increase. Looks like 20 years before any hunting will be alowed. I hope they increase the limit on deer before release. My car, truck and van show the over population consiquenses. I want the Elk to have plenty of room in the woods, or I will probably quit driving. the Elk are able to do alot more damage than a white tail deer, even at slow speeds.<br><br>Texas gulf cost fisher.
