Great article, Todd.
But I think it's also important to mention that DVC data alone can't measure the impact that a given crossing design and the location of that crossing has on wildlife. In certain cases, seasonal migration routes are essential to the survival of a herd. So while a fencing project may reduce the incidence of DVCs, it can also be detrimental to wildlife if it disrupts that migration. Since other variables make it difficult to assess the impact of a crossing, local public input (and a lot of horse sense) is essential to projects such as those that are coming in Parley's canyon and Provo canyon. (Frankly, I'm not at all comfortable with the Parley's fencing project which could mean the end of the resident elk herd there.)
