If it had been a coyote that's one thing....an elk is something totally different..... If you got her, I'll bet it was a beatch getting her out....any hero photos of her on the ground?
I hear this all the time. I think this is total BS. Where do you draw the line with species? Are some afforded more mortal status than others? Nobody would have given him crap for shooting a chuck in the head yet here we are crucifying him for a cow elk shot in the head. What's good for the goose is good for the gander or something like that.
Pests and vermin are not attributed the same value or care that a big game animal, pet, livestock, or human being is for that matter.
I don't really care if my mouse trap catches a mouse by the head, chest, guts, or legs- so long as it catches him and he's dead when I find him.
