Im not trying to be a smart ass or anything. Truely sincere. But I as well as oldest son have tried to do our best as others have stated here of running elk off of private property into public land. I realize its not much consolation. But last time I was able I know we ran at least 500 +\- out of our hay meadow.

I typically hunt cows. I have my big guy. Could care less about another bull.I go for the hunt, time spent with my family and friends, and the meat. And I will also admit that I have never been treated by anyone in Colorado in any other way that cordial. Including game officers.

I wish all good luck this season. To me each animal is a "trophy"!

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
