Combination of things. Elk transplanted out of Banff. Habitat enhancement upstream of the Ranch, large predator issue etc. The wolves and bears have always been there. When the park transplanted elk out of Banff, the pressure on the remaining herd increased. Student biologists were studying the herd and instructed that the answer to the declining herds would not be due to predators, politically incorrect at the time, maybe still now, wolves and bears are so precious.
