On the other hand I have never seen a barb wire fence stop a herd of elk. Seen them run through them many of times and fixed a lot of fences...
I was thinking the same thing. Was this a 'high fence' situation, or what? Jumping over or running through fences is certainly the norm around here. It just seems odd to me.
Sounds kind of like rounding the bend in the river to discover a pack of wolves lying around a well eaten moose carcass, and being too heavy to run, some fellow just picks them off one by one with a rifle.
Or perhaps it's more like the folks who cornered those elk, bison, or mammoths and begin "torturing" them with spears and arrows. (I know, the era probably makes this different.)
