No direction home? Elk southwest of Bozeman, left tired by having to navigate between subdivisions, take a breather on habitat where new structures are going in. Wildlife advocates say the Gallatin County Commission and planning staff have not done a good job representing the needs of wildlife coping with increasingly fragmented landscapes. They have little confidence the city of Bozeman's "Gallatin Sensitive Lands Study" will yield results if there is not a will from city and county officials to give it teeth.
