i bet you could cap one right in your front yard and none of the neighbors would complain. and even if they did, seriously, as a first offender you'd probably only get probation for a few months. even less if you donated half of the meat to a homeless shelter.
they'd die of lead ventilation in my neck of the woods!
i dunno, but if you waited for the right shot, you could prove safety was your number one priority. ie shooting towards your own house rather than a neighbors, knowing that the house was unoccupied, or shooting one that's lying down, from your rooftop, so if the round did either miss or pass through, it would just hit the ground, etc. shouldn't be too hard to sever the spine or rock a heart and double-lung, so it wouldn't bleed all over the neighborhood...
Those things are BIG. Were they just hanging out and minding their own business?
The whitetail deer are so plentiful here in Richmond that they saunter down a city street at night. They like to munch on the bushes too.
My deer are so much smaller than yours. But my deer can get pissed and scare the fool out of you, I can just imagine what one of those elk thingies could do to you if you surprised one.

Ke? Crossbow at night solves it all.

Depends on how far it drops from the garage ;)
How could you tell? I only saw her back(side).

I forget where that is from, but I laughed my ass off the first time I heard it.

Yes, you do.
Hunting on your lawn is still hunting. That meth head raiding your garage, however...
Mmmmmm, Elk. Funny story about my wife who was raised a strict vegan, meeting my father for the first time. He had just come home from a successful Elk Hunt and was unpacking the cooler of "elk parts". Blood, bones, hair...she about fainted.
Cool, unless of course they are eating the expensive trees in your yard, and then Iwoudl recomend chasing after them with a broom.
The deer around here are really in your face and eat the crap out of everything. I've found them in the backyard a few times eating our garden. Wish I could corral one of them and feed it some grains to fatten it up.
There are elk in the Smoky Mountains National Park and we saw a couple last time we were there. Not quite as big as these guys, though.
Moving elk-cone obstacles? Wouldn't want to see the penalty if you clipped one... unless I was in the P71, yeah push-bumpers!

the push-bumpers will only work on the ones lying down. hit one of these beasties standing up and only the legs move forward with the car, allowing that huge body to come through the windshield and crush you. animal still alive but with four broken legs. driver dead. not win.
What's the difference between Colorado and Canada?
In Canada, Moosehead is a beer. In Colorado, it's a misdemeanor.
