The management of the elk population at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, has
been the subject of a long-standing controversy among wildlife
biologists, with critics of the winter feeding program predicting
that such intervention would result in overpopulation, habitat
destruction, disease and chaos. After more than 75 years in which
hay has been provided during the winter months in most years, the
elk population is flourishing and is for good measure one of the
most intensively studied and managed wildlife populations in North
America. This detailed study of migration, population dynamics,
harvesting strategies, winter feeding programs and range
relationships in the Jackson elk herd provides a classic study in
wildlife management. As such it will have wide appeal to
professionals and students in wildlife biology, resource management
and applied ecology.
