Governor Carey discusses the problem of game reserves, especially as it pertains to elk. People are currently asking for the reserve that Theodore Roosevelt discusses to be abolished. Ranchers have a problem with elk migrating to areas where there is no food for them. Carey believes that the herds could be moved to the Big Horn mountains. Opinion is divided about whether or not the government should feed the elk.
