[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 60233, member: 412"] I spent the opening day of ND deer season hunting elk in MT. We were in front of a herd of 50-60 cows, calves, and spikes and anticipated that they'd get closer by moving through one more dip in the terrain. We waited ~30min, I walked to the edge of the dip and it fed down into a deep ravine that allowed the herd to move onto private ground. At that point I was "about" 400yds off the edge of the private ground and I was "about" 200yds from a dozen cows/calves in the trees headed down to the private ground and I let them all go. I was 99% sure they were still on public ground, but, I was 100% sure that if I shot one right there I'd have an audience waiting for me to dip a toe onto private, and, if said elk were to not drop at the shot but run downhill onto the private ground it would've been a "Game warden, landowner, study the blood-trail" type situation and so I let them walk. Elk is certainly tasty but not worth that kind of rig-a-ma-ro. We spent Sat. driving home and it'll take the better part of today to get my truck clean and my stuff semi-re-organized. [/QUOTE]
