Elk problem. Any solutions?
« on: April 09, 2011, 11:53:25 AM »
Maybe it's just me, but I can think of a really effective, low cost solution to this elk problem.    MMMMmmmmm...  Elk jerky. ;)

.30-06 ought to do it. Lots of it.

Take out some of the 2-legged idiots as well. Sheesh, what maroons!

When my son and I camped in Alberta some years ago, we had elk coming through the campground constantly. You learned if you did not know to stay away from them. I knew and stayed well out of their way. But, one time, even though I was off to the side and next to a tree, a bull came after me to protect his small herd (2 cows and their wee bairns). He must have known I was thinking of elk jerky . . . . .  ;)

Your suggestion of using a 30-06 on these wonderful animals is offensive in the extreme, shotguns are much less likely to over penetrate and injure innocent bystanders.  ;D

WHERE IS THIS LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN?

As a patriotic citizen I volunteer to help these unfortunate people with their problem.  All I require is plane fare and a hunting license. ;)

I figure my 454/45 carbine will work just fine. ;D

Please refer back to my original post, 2nd sentence. . . . .    ;)

Friends with knives and some time on their hands.  :)

As a golfer, seeing what they do to the course, (and the pace of a round), would make me hit a low drawing 5 iron.

Direct hits with Rubber Shotgun slugs would not get them to move in PA. PGC went to scarcrow round, flash bang to chase them away from homes
