Elk are more known for pushing out the mulie population and destroying the vegetation like locust over here in the Rocky mountains. Well, the central Rockies, anyway. Up north, the wolf reintroduction program made a significant impact on the elk populations, including the decimation of what was once the largest elk herd near Jackson Hole, WY.
