Controversy over area elk

A herd of elk managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources lives near Grygla. The herd has generated much controversy over the years as herd numbers grew and the animals damaged farmers’ crops. In 1985 farmers successfully lobbied to have the elk removed, an effort that was eventually halted. In 1987 the Legislature voted to compensate farmers for crop damage and limit the elk herd to between 20 and 30 animals, through public hunting seasons if necessary. The last hunt was in 1998. For more information see: [http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/volunteer/novdec02/twoherds.html] a news article published in the Department of Natural Resources' Minnesota Conservation Volunteer.
