When I was a kid we had a large Elk herd on the ranch,they were some where around all year around, they were hell on hay stacks in the winter we kept Elk fences around our stacks and they would come down to cattle feed grounds and eat with our cattle, my Granddad said we feed them year around they are ours, when we needed meat we would shoot a young dry cow, only time we ate beef was having a hamburger in town.

These Elk Threads always amaze me, What Gun, what Chambering, what Bullet,How far, That's not enough gun, this bullets no good , this bullets the best,makes it sound like Elk are Bullet Proof, What a bunch of B.S. they are just big deer nothing more. your pecker does not grow if you shoot one or more.
