Elk Strike on USAFA
Post By: Reifer      Posted: 9/27/2012 4:13:56 PM     Points: 103    
Well, spent a month chasing elk, then got this picture of an elk hit on base last night. Just thought I would share.

Well there's your problem. You spent all that time chasing after them with a gun or a bow and what you really needed was a truck.

That looks like it hurt. Hope nobody was injured.

Tight Lines...zzz

ZZZ, I think my problem is other hunters are tools. With a busted up knee I was limited on where I could hunt. had three coming in and other hunters decided to cut the elk off. When I contacted DOW, there were like, "what do you want us to do about it." Next year I'm driving around with a salt lick on the bumper. LOL

I saw that pic about 2 years ago, he's a monster though

I've had a few close calls myself. On base, I am constantly scanning left and right while driving, especially this time of year. Thanks for the reminder.

I didn't realize it was an old picture. This was sent to me today talking about the elk strike last night. Figured it was a pic from last nights incident.

About a month ago I saw a smaller bull in velvet dead in the median on the I25 north at the WY/CO line. Next day I saw and elk rib cage there. I figured someone picked up a cool mount and a lot of delicious meat!

USAFA maintains a list of folks eager to make use of animals in car strike situations.

HE'S LEGAL!!! If you saw him get hit and the meat is fresh, you can call DOW and get a road kill tag sent to you and he's yours. Sat on a jury one time and that was the issue.

Unless they changed that law. Been a while.
