Well that could be a slippery slope and possibly the reason for that harvested elk not being allowed in the record book. Elk herds that are known to be resident after many years in a particular area and free ranging probably should be allowed. I have great respect for the honest hunters/sportsman but have seen too much negative from dishonest, money hungry, screw the hunter game ranches here in Texas. Some, I am sure may take exception to this statement but several I have guided on over the years are certainly in this mold. Just call a week or 2 before your hunt and they will have the animal available for you and yes it will make gold in Safari Club record books. Too much of that stuff going on here in Texas. Tom
