No, the subject line is not a medical-update on my friend, who recently had prostate-cancer surgery ... it is in regards to the phone call that cousin Chris received, while on his central-Idaho Elk hunt 2-weeks ago. Apparently, after surviving Idaho wolves, coyotes and an entire Winter in the wild ... Chris's escaped pack-Llama (Woody), was �harvested� during the 2012 Idaho cow elk season, in the same unit where he broke free 11 months ago. This was in the Craig Mountain area, above the Snake river and the mouth of the Salmon River.
When the smoke cleared and the "shooter" went up to Woody, he thought the Cow-elk looked a little �wooly� ... then he spotted the halter still on him. So the shooter logged and reported the GPS coordinates to the Idaho F/G. They called another cousin (in Lewiston/Clarkston) who drove the 1-hr up there to check it out. Woody was found in a timbered area and he does have Elk-like coloration ... so, throw in a little snow, or a fogged scope ... a shaky trigger finger and a burning desire for elk steaks .... and the Legend-of-Woody ... is no more.
What ever happened to "Know your Target" ? .... or was it a case of ....
"If it's Brown and moves ... Shoot-it ... we'll sort the tags out later".
