It's fun to hike through the specific area where it was discovered. You can see where the cattle ranches, farms, suburbs, and eventually survivalist homesteads concentrated the elk/deer into such a small and disconnected area. With the bear/wolf/mountain lion populations all but eradicated in the same process, there's no check on their populations outside of hunting which is prohibitively expensive. It's one of those places that really instilled my eco-Marxism.
