"...If they really wanna spend that much money so badly, why don't they pay the hunters who actually enjoy elk..."
Epyon, that's the crux of the matter: Anti-hunters go bonkers over the idea that hunters actually enjoy hunting, killing and eating wild game. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that the enjoyment-factor is more annoying to them than the actual hunting. It's the old "I don't like it, so you can't do it!" deal.
From the Feds' standpoint, it's the usual arrogance that if you're not a federal employee, you don't know nuthin' 'bout nuthin'. As a generality, NPS employees regard the National Parks as "theirs" and really resent the vistors who come through. (I grant that there is that percentage of visitors who actually should have stayed home.)
