Like many/most of us that live on or around the surburban-wild interface, we're thick with those hooved rats. Mulies here. I almost tripped on one leaving my workplace at dusk a week or so ago. I joked to a neighbor that someone with a bow should come and do some pest removal - the kind older lady pointed out that, given their destruction, nobody would even "hear" a 30-06.
We have herds of elk in the backcountry of the Los Alamos lab property. "Behind the fence" would be the casual term - I guess those elk must be good enough mammals that they can get a Restricted Data clearance. They summer higher up in the mountains but are surely in the 40-or-so sq miles of protected space when the hunt starts.
As one of my hardcore hunter colleagues points out - they're everywhere until you're actually out to harvest some.
