I read about 10 years ago they were trying to reestablish a elk heard in the NE. I kind of lost track of it over the years.

Slow cook Elk Roast in a crockpot. Eat with some Horseradish. Isnt anything better
The only people who don't favour deer hunting are foreign assholes. Those things are like rats, and a hazard to transport due to their numbers and lack of predators.
The lives of some deer are worth less than the lives of the humans that they critically endanger.
I saw some deer near the park while jogging a few days ago. :)
A doe and a smaller one, possibly its fawn.
Also, it saddens me that venison isn't allowed to be sold in stores around here. I want to eat it, but I'm not a good enough shot to go hunting (nor can I afford it).

In Missouri it was the conservationists who brought deer back to state. In the early '20's it was believed that Missouri only had a deer population of around 400. Now they are everywhere. I don't know if there are any elk in Missouri. I haven't seen any, but that doesn't mean anything.
We have an elk herd in Kentucky, and yes you can hunt them. I think the hunting season is rather ridiculous though, like our bear season (which lasts two days, or one day if more than 5 bears or something like that are bagged on day 1).

If prepared correctly, venison is delicious. :mmm:
I have deer in my yard fairly often. I can't legally shoot at them though since I lack a centerfire rifle.

I do not oppose good venison jerky on principle.
I miss living in the Yukon, where I could occasionally score moose meat from friends.
On the other hand, I do have some ground elk meat sitting in my freezer purchased from the farmer's market. :shifty:

Same here. Usually 6-7 at one time. I have three apple trees and they dig that. I could pop one of them as I live in a county area. But, I have made my property a "DMZ" so to speak. They are free to roam w/o getting assassinated.

I think the general vibe of the eco-warriors is that hunting for your own meat is a good thing as it's sustainable, it's not buying factory farmed meat from a mega-store, etc. PETA will be up in arms against it of course, but generally speaking i think most of the hippies are for it.

True. I ran into some of the PETA fundies back in '94-'95 when I was moonlighting as a "Wild Life Assassin" (as they called me) for Northwest Trek the first time I was stationed in Washington.
Long story short. I was contracted by the park to thin the exploding white tail deer herd. The white tails were breeding with the black tails. They had deformaties and such. After closing, myself and the curator would hop in his little truck. He would point out the ones he wanted taken out. We'd bag them and take them over to the wolf areas. Later when they got two Grizzly's at the park, we would take the shot deer over to their cages.
Let me tell you the movies do no justice to the damage a Griz can do and they werent even full grown.
PETA was protesting outside the gate. Problem was, the state would not let the park release the white tails into the wild. Upset the ecosystem or some shit. The state would also not pay for state/federal animal damage control to come in. Catch 22 for the park. Hence where I come in.
Hunting is a sport for gentlemen :bowler:
Some animals I have no desire to hunt. Bear, Big Cats, Elephant, rhino.

Really? You can get it in most supermarkets here.
Deer is tasty and they do need their population controlled nonetheless people who take pleasure in killing things have something wrong with them.

And I also had, bought in the same batch and already consumed, a tray of deer cecina, which was really tasty. Much stronger flavour than beef.
I do not hunt, but I'm actually very supportive of those that do. Seems like a worthy hobby and anything that thins out the goddamn deer is a good thing. According to the Department of Conservation 150 thousand deer are harvested annually in Missouri. That's a fucking lot. Also hunters are what make the Department of Conservation what it is, and I like the other services they provide such as nature reserves and the like. I've had deer burgers a few times, they are tasty. :)

Fucking hunters better keep off mah lands.
I don't like hunting and I don't think it's a sport either. Staying still is not a sport :P
However, I don't mind the hunters. It's necessary to keep a balance, and humans have always been a predator.
I also used to really look forward to hunting season, deer, ducks/geese, pheasant, grouse. Used to go to Quebec, Isle d'Orleans for the opening of duck season. What a battle field that was, hunters everywhere! Usually Maine for deer, but sometimes any of the New England states. But haven't hunted in years, and doubt that I'll be doing so again. Just lost my desire for it, though I'm fully supportive of those who hunt. I have no problem with it. It's also a lot of work, not usually an easy task to bag something. You have to enjoy just being out there in the woods, or along the waterways, depending what you're hunting. Same with fishing too.
11B4V, where do you hunt elk? Locally in your state (which state)?
Does elk taste different to normal deer?

Yes.
But I'm not a big fan of venison - been quite gamey from what I've had. Mind you that's been hunted venison, not farmed.
I can hunt quail every day in my back yard. Usually I just give 'em a blast with an air rifle so they'll run away and stop eating my grass seed. It makes the feathers fly a lot. I can headshot them and they'll die, but I'm too lazy to pluck the feathers and cook 'em.

Yea, same here. It may have something to do with why I can't stand the smell/taste(or texture) of raw meat. Too much butchering as a kid. That smell is associated with shit and viscera which can smell many times worse, and I've never had a strong stomach.

No idea. I think it depends on how you hunt them. I think you can take more with a bow and arrow then you can with a rifle. Perhaps more if you chase it down and kill it with a rock.
The type of hunting I don't have a lot of respect for is duck hunting (maybe geese hunting is similar). Lie in a hidey hole, make them come to you with calls and decoys, then blast the shit out of them when they're close enough.

Other kinds you have to sneak up on them, then get in a shot before they smell your manstench or hear your clumsy mannoise and run away.
You wouldn't like the way my buddy's native friend hunted deer then. He put a few salt licks on his property. Then he'd sit in a rocking chair on his porch with his gun and shoot them when ever he felt like it.

I just figured it's one step further down your scale when you can step out of your living room in your skivvies, with a cigarette and cup of coffee to pick off the quarry.

Most people around here don't hunt like that. At least in Missouri. Wandering around the Forrest with a rifle during hunting season seems like a good way to get shot. Most of the people I know who go hunting use deer blinds the like.
I'll confess that the hunters I know are moose hunters, not deer hunters.
But while their stories do involve travelling around (mostly on quads), they also use calls to try and bring the moose to them.

Ducks and geese are pretty smart. If they see you, even at a distance, they won't fly near. Same with any wild game really, you have to use ways to hide, or outsmart them. For deer hunting, one of the most effective ways is mornings and evenings when they're moving to feeding sites. Stand near a known deer trail, keeping hidden and perfectly still (else they will see you before you see them, as they notice movement very well, even with weaker eyes.) Wild turkeys are one of the smarter birds from what I've heard. Hunters are in camoflage outfits to blend in, so as not to spook the birds.

Well, the greenland shark's flesh is a bit lethal when fresh so you have to let it ferment quite a while but after 8-9 months it's quite ready for human consumption. Packs quite a punch in vitamin D and omega 3's.
And some Inuit have an even worse delicacy, fermented seabird. :hmm:

Yeah, the Inuit prepare it in a similar way to the Icelanders, but they still won't eat it. They do eat squished auks, but I don't think they are as bad.
Iceland was in a malthusian crisis several times in the past millenium, especially in the 17th century IIRC; a taste for pickled albatross, rotting shark or whatever is better than the alternative.
"Can't feed 'em, don't breed 'em" is a sound principle.

Big in the South do to vegetation. It's more a matter of nessessity. I never liked it much cause I always fell asleep. When I hunted in the south, I usually walked a little then sat and watched an area then walked a little. Wash, Rinse and repeat. Last Deer I shot in georgia ('99) was from 30 meters.
Here in western washington esp where I hunt Deer in the Olympics in it thick as hell. I always wonder why they never adapted the southern style tree stand hunting here.
My Elk area is more open. I probably walked 30-35 miles over a few days the last time I went. Elk are fairly easy to track, but the weather was too nice and there was a full moon at nite that year.. I remember that year I was on a ridgeline on a crystal clear November morning. I could see Mt Rainer to the north and St. Hellens to the soth. Quite a sight really.
I always hope for the shittiest weather every year during elk season. The shittier the better.

You're giving Hillary a run for his money Before.
Did Klingonowski call his law "the Rambo Law?"
Uh, somehow I doubt it. He's a vet himself (USMC), and wanted to show Oregonian vets that they were appreciated.
Oregon is a poor state, and couldn't do the free college thing like some others, so he decided to do something that the guys would like and would also be cheap for the state to offer. No complains here.
A poor state, but they still have enough money to give pot to all those potsmokers.
Really, who give pot away for free? :huh:
The 358 and Brenneke cleaned, oiled and ready to go.

Kosher hunting is hard.
I have to get to my prey before it dies to cut its throat and spill its blood.

Didn't the Turkish Brigade do that for fun during the Korean War? :contract: :lol:

Why risk being shot doing that?

The 358 is a decently heavy caliber. Is it good on longer ranges, flat trajectory, or better for closer in, heavy brush? I think you said you hunt in fairly thick forest, so I assume the ranges are generally not too long? Maybe a one or two hundred yards? Good luck on the hunt.

There is elk season in SW Virginia as well, if I don't get one this year it will be my third year in a row without taking an elk.
I did bag 18 deer last season though :).
During elk season I'm hoping for nasty weather.
