Elk's behavior is WAY different from moose, and there will never be near as many of them as with deer. But I hope they're planning for plenty of hunting of both the elk and the white-tail. They do breed, and I don't think you guys have much in the way of large predators any more. Besides, more people will put up with them if they get to hunt them.

I've noticed just in my lifetime that the deer are not nearly as stupid about cars as they used to be. I rarely get the "deer in the headlights" look from a deer any more, and quite often they'll be standing on the side of the road waiting for a break in the traffic before they go across, whereas it seems like they used to just leap suddenly into the road whenever they felt like it. I'm not saying they don't still get hit by cars a lot -- just a couple weeks ago a lady had just hit a nice little buck right in front of me. He was still breathing when we dragged him off the road. It just seems like they're starting to get a bit smarter about cars than they used to be. Given the number that get killed, there sure is plenty of evolutionary pressure for them to get smarter.
