The landowners thought they were neat. But the numbers grew and so did depredation. Hard antlered bulls would swing them in row crops and lay down wide swaths. In the fall during rut they would come into yards. One wrecked a swing set and small children had to stay indoors. During winter when the ranchers fed their cows the elk bulls would eat first. The ranchers tolerated this but then thought why not. They shot a satellite bull and split it between several. They even talked it around. Didn't take long for the law to show. Said elk meat right on the packages. Fines levied.The landowners said that's it, come get your elk. During the round up elk got killed and maimed. Everyone lost including the elk. Lapper, sounds like you have two great GOP candidates running for Gov.- - - Updated - - -PG, here is the question I posed:You brought up this elk depredation permit thing. Gst's last post brought it to our attention that was a House Bill 1396 from 2017. It failed 0-92. You're going to have to do better. Can you provide some examples to your claim where voters validated through the stupid politicians they elect, have obstructed "trained" biologists from doing the jobs that they were hired to do?</blockquote>
