That 3'ear 75 per- mits were issued by lottery for taking 75 bulls. A check of all hunters revealed that 43 bulls were harvested. Since that time population counts of this elk herd made by aerial surveys showed that the herd had been steadily increasing in numbers. By 1949 cattle ranchers, maintaining that the increase in the elk population was depleting the range, agitated for a hunting season. Consequently, a controlled hunt was held from December 2d through December 11th. A total of 125 permits was issued.
