• They serve individuals who are unable to travel to states with free-ranging elk.
• They provide individuals a safer hunting experience.
• They provide a profitable purpose for maintaining large, undeveloped open spaces.
• Natural cover and the large size of the average facility allow a typical hunting experience.
