Thats what I heard too. I have spent years hunting and sledding around that lake with no sign of elk. Wmu 509 and the farm fields it holds is a couple days walk from there for the elk. I would not be surprised if some found their way to that zone. I also know that a moose meat loving community nearby would have had a field day that first winter with freshly transplanted elk.
