Elk census shows stable herd despite poor calf ratio
Weather nearly halted helicopter counts but two days of flights yielded 564 elk counted region wide. In 1966 Unit 4 logged 40 hours and about 1200 elk sighted, with 51 Granite Creek, 204 Lost Creek, and 100 Kellogg face counts. Calf to cow ratio at Unit 4 was 25 per 100, suggesting below optimum productivity due to harsh 1968-69 winter. The herd appears stable and healthy, supporting browse and harvest studies.
