Dennis Sheehy is a Wallowa County cowboy, rancher, veteran, and scientist. He holds no less than two bachelors degrees, a masters degree, and a PhD, and has studied rangeland and large herbivore ecology in regards to ungulates in the county since the 80s. As both a rancher and ecologist, Dennis has a unique and incredibly valuable insight into issues that plague natural resource managers and cattle ranchers alike. This week, we discuss the balancing act of maintaining a healthy population of elk while minimizing the damage they cause to farmers and private land owners.
