Elk hunting generates hundreds of millions annually across the West. For thousands of Western ranchers, elk make the difference between financial survival and failure.

The Department and Park Service removal policies severely impact these native animals across huge areas of far-West Texas, denying landowners and economically-pressed local communities badly-needed income, and hunting and wildlife viewing opportunities to the public.
