There's just so many things one can do with an elk!

[the invisib1e hand]

some people believe in feeding wild animals. Some people are not of that elk.

Some frustrated property owners say they are considering a last resort: shooting the hungry animals.

Surely if a Lousiana congressman can store $70K (or whatever the amount was) in his freezer, the landowners should be allowed to store elk in their freezers.

I try to do my part. If the state would give out more permits, my part would be easier.

Its the same old, same old. Its all about who gets paid. Ranchers around Tucumcari 2 years ago were bitching about antelope breaking fences and scattering bind weed seed. I said to one, let me shoot one of them for you,,,,,,he says,,,OH NO,,,THOSE ARE VALUABLE GAME ANIMALS, I GET $2500 EACH FROM HUNTERS. Last year I talked to a rancher from Des Moines, he had a bear problem, according to him, he had lost 6 calves and gotten his barn torn up. I told him, I will go track that bear and kill it for you,,,OH NO, THOSE ARE VALUABLE GAME ANIMALS, I GET $2500 FOR A HUNT. So there really was only one problem, and that was that hunters were no longer willing to pay outrageous prices for small game, and they were not on the gravy train, but they felt entitled.

It sounds like a pay me now or pay me later deal. Hopefully the days of the multi thousand dollar hunts are winding down. As with everything, the liberals have turned the New Mexico wildlife into a cash cow and now only the wealthy can afford to go hunting. The states natural resources are available only to the priviledged

Not just NM...these came to me via e-mail; friend of a friend was flying over the Mormon Lake area in northern AZ 2-3 weeks ago. Darn, wish I'd gotten drawn this year...
