Bobby, I'm on more or less the same page as Joshua. Although I frequently attempt to designate Elk to subspecies (Rocky Mountain, Roosevelt and Tule), I only do so because, as with many distinctive bird subspecies, I've learned to recognize them over the years and so ID observations to the most specific level possible. However, I am certainly no expert on the matter, and if we simply lump all subspecies into one, that wouldn't bother me too much.
@john8 @joshuagsmith, you two seem to be pretty familiar with this species. Does my reasoning sound good? I'm hesitant to make such an immediate change for an organism with so many observations attributed to it.
