A herd of elk managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources lives near Grygla.
In 1985, farmers successfully lobbied to have the elk removed, an effort that was eventually halted.
In 1987, the legislature voted to compensate farmers for crop damage and limit the elk herd to between 20 and 30 animals, through public hunting seasons if necessary.
