Hey folks,

Looking for a general assessment of the elk situation south of Fauquier. Last time I was there, for work, it seemed like they were everywhere. But that was a decade ago and I know things aren’t as good with elk in the west kootenays these days.

The last population survey I could find was 2012 and they seemed to still be in good shape then.

Any info much appreciated. Trying to get my brothers-in-law into hunting and they want to try for elk, I’m more of a moose and mule deer hunter myself.
