"All that the South has ever desired was that the Union, as established by our forefathers, should be preserved, and that the government, as originally organized, should be administered in purity and truth." – Robert E. Lee
No wonder in some places cattle folks don't want more elk around.
Yikes.
The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men. In it is contentment In it is death and all you seek (Quoted from "The Bleeding of the Stone" Ibrahim Al-Koni)
Always heard them called "slow elk". Never knew anyone that actually tried to kill one. Although some years a gut pile is found and a few head go missing from local USFS grazing allottments.
A few years ago there was some jackass in a neighboring county driving around gut shooting beeves (22 LR) from the road. The last time I saw it mentioned in the paper, he had killed approximately 8 head. I don't think they ever caught the bastard.
Hopefully a rancher caught him in the act, and that is why we never heard any more about it.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
Wow special kind of retard to mistake a cow for an elk.. Glad you were able to save it..
It was not my cow. Friend in Montana's cow.
It was shot on purpose... twice. It's calf was also shot.
Worthless phuquer. Catch em and shoot em in the face.

"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."
I noticed that was abscessed when the pulled the elk antler out.
Pretty easy fix....
Purge the abscess, flush with water, squirt a 60cc syringe of hydrogen peroxide into the cavity, and give the cow 20cc's of penicillin a day for a couple of days.
