Can you shoot a collard deer/elk?
yes you can but just something to think about here because I shot a bear with one a few years back.  If it was collard in the last 60 days they tell you not to eat it at least they did me with the bear.  Just something to think about I would hate to kill an elk and not be able to eat it.  It would be a complete waste.

is that because of the drugs used when the tranquilize the animal?

Yes sir. We had a lot of collared elk around my folks old place and they told us its because of the tranquilzers and how long it takes to cleanse from their system and from the meat.

Yep I was told 60 days I think may be wrong :dunno:.  I got lucky I guess bear was a few weeks past the time frame.  I would feel pretty bad if I shot something and couldn't eat it.  Plus all the time and money spent with nothing in return really

We have killed several collared cougars in the past.  Need to be careful because twice the hide was not good because of the coloars.   :bash:

Enlarge the picture and you should see 13.  Look for one on the left side in the distance.

I only see 11.
The one on the left next to the tree looks like  a deer to me. But I have old eyes.
