Has anyone killed an Elk? This is my third season going after these beautiful animals. I went archery hunting, and had zero luck. I’m going with a rifle in November. Just wondering what your guys experience is.

Cool job site for conservation and ecological work - https://wfscjobs.tamu.edu/job-board/

@Felden - CO No, never. The population is growing in SW OK, thanks to a booming population at a National Wildlife Refuge and expansion outward, but I never have taken one. Better have friends to help you with the work afterwards, do you have an ATV or some kind of cart?

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN where I hunt, no wheels are allowed. Only humans and hoof. I have to quarter out my animal in 2-3 trips.

Ah, a wilderness area. Imagine thinking horses are less disruptive than bikes. -__-'

Lol yeah. Those piles of horse apples cause more disruption than bikes.

About 30 of these guys walk into my yard every day.

One of the new jakes has a huge beard

Neat! Huge flocks spotted here in SW OK

I love elk hunting with full bars of LTE. 😀

I already posted this in farming but I thought you rangers might like it too.

Nice buck.

My cousin got him.

With his legs up behind his head like that it looks like he's just chillin.

So relaxed

Constantinople not Istanbul

Looks like dinner was running late.

Always remember boys nature is dangerous. This is my dad's dog. He's fine btw.

porcupined! poor doggo

You might not be surprised to hear that this isn't the first time he's picked a bad fight. He's been skunked twice. He's a monster hunting dog though. When he was younger he used to catch pheasants by himself.

I may have revealed my power level in my last paper of my last class.

"As usual, the human element is most tricky. As the postmodern, banal, suburban sprawl consumes all that was once good in this world, animals find themselves struggling to exist in our drywall matrix. In arid or sparse environments, animal interactions can become more drastic and desperate. It is important that municipalities, counties, and relevant state and federal authorities adequately educate and regulate people into their own best practices, such as garbage storage in bear country, or not hiking alone in the land of cougars and ravenous pit bulls. Unfortunately the pretense of democracy requires every interest (no matter how sullied) to be considered. This may be done in onerous public hearings or instead labyrinthine bureaucratic lawyer fights. At the end of the day, the wildlife habitat manager can only hope that the least amount of damage to all living creatures is done, and the least amount of ground is lost to the eternal Wal-Mart."

Buzzwords of pretend intellectualism, activate!

But is your professor based?

They are an avid duck hunter and have apprehended Chinese-paid poachers. Who knows?

That's as edgy as it got, the rest was a dry rundown on Leopold-style habitat management.

Sounds about as close as you'll get for a professor

My program does have some confirmed based profs though.

One said "portland should be fenced off for a year"

I'm going kangaroo spot lighting tonight. I'll try to get some pictures for you guys.

Please do! I’m very jealous of you this past week or so lol

We got 3 roos and 3 wombats.

The kangaroos we got were pretty small. There was a bit of a thunderstorm in the distance and we think that might have driven some of them away from the property we were hunting. My GF's brother said that on a good night they might get as many as 10.

We saw one big red buck but he got down into a creek bed and we couldn't get him back out.

@Der Seeteufel - SD I've eaten roo before but how's that wombat taste?
