Wait wait,, i got it. Maybe the elk was really killed by a “small foreign faction”. Did anyone find a ransom note?

Did the cop have a hunting license? I doubt it. And aren’t there laws about discharging weapons inside the city?

I think cops are allowed to discharge weapons in the city. They're supposed to file a report about it though. lol
I was wrong about him using a pistol though. At the bottom of the article the letter from the chief says he used a shotgun. I was going by the caption under the pic which said "Boulder Police Officer Sam Carter poses with the elk he shot with his service gun while on duty. (credit: CBS)" I wrongly assumed that "service gun" meant his pistol.

Used a shotgun, and yes there are. And cops are allowed to use one in the city to destroy an injured animal. This one had a hurt leg. And if he took the meat, it’s almost a guarantee he got permission of game and fish, otherwise you would have already heard of them taking some sort of action. Game wardens cut nobody any slack,,,ever.
Trusting the news coming out of Boulder is like,,,, well, trusting the news coming out of Boulder.

The officer on duty says the animal was limping so he shot it. He called his off duty buddy who came, the took a picture and then his buddy took the animal home to process. The police chief says this is being investigated. He should have notified the dispatcher, spoken with his supervisor, and then written a report. He did NONE of those things. If I am not mistaken most police departments require a written report any time a shot is fired.

Isn’t it customary for injured wildlife to be euthanized by Dept. of Fish and Game personnel?

Hes being investigated by the CDPW. (Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife) I would hope so. Unless some persons life was in immediate danger, there was no need for the euthanizing of the animal by a police officer. He should have notified fish and game.

I live in Larimer county just north of Boulder county. I'm sure a town cop here in Estes or a sheriff or a state trooper would put down an injured animal before the DoW guy came if it were a public danger or the animal was really suffering and DoW was going to be a while getting there. But they would still call DoW and have them sign off on it. That would be no problem.
From all I have read in our local paper over the years they all have a tight working relationship. It's easy peasy to have the DoW guy sign off on taking road kill too. All you have to do is be the first one to ask.

As a nature lover I would have been right in there with them if I were a bit younger.
I think I could get in their pants.
I love nature.
