When I was in Estes park a few years ago, we watched some Elk on the golf course, they seemed pretty calm. I heard later that one of them got a bit aggressive with the tourists and golfers and supposedly the DOW or rangers sawed off his antlers, and he was fine after that. Not sure if true, but it seemed a bit intrusive to me. They need those antlers for defense.
Yep. And this is a Sampson Law violation as well. Bull elk with six or more points on an antler beam $10,000
Will they also lose hunting privilage in Colorado too?
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

As does the picture of him posing with the elk like it was a good shoot.

Did the Park Cty deputies do this after they shot the keg? Think the police will get treated leniantly or made an example of? I would guess they will get a mild hand slap and soon be back at work. A candlelight vigil for the dead Elk. H
