600 elk shot in Winston cause of hoof rot?
« on: January 27, 2014, 05:48:31 PM »
Herd that the Wardens shot 600 elk in the Winston creek unit that had hoof rot. Wanted to know if this was true?

Don't see why this is funny? Is there not 600 elk there? Or is it too hard for them to shoot 600 elk?

Didn't someone post this same question a couple months ago? I wonder where this rumor is coming from? I doubt there's any truth to it.

I heard they released a pack of wolves and that was the only way to re duce the numbets by letting them eat the old and sick elk. :dunno: :dunno: :tup:

It is funny because it is ridiculous!  Whomever told you this is a liar or very gullible.  Either way I would not take what they say seriously in the future.

:yeah:
Sounds like we got a department full of Chuck Norris clones.  Probably only used three 30-06 shells and 597 roundhouse kicks.

It would be impossible for something like that to fly under the radar of both hunters and the general public.

If ten much less 600 elk were shot it would make front pages news somewhere.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

Don't laugh too loud, this will be the exact logic they use when they admit to transplanting wolves to western Washington

:yeah: :yeah: it wouldnt suprise me one bit if thats the logic they used to move the wolves in, i dont have a problem with them whackn the elk if they have hoof rott! it would be nice to know there isnt a cure for it or something first though, or what exactly causes hoof rott, i have heard all kind of ideas on what causes it but i dont think anyone actually knows, so if it is a contagious disease, why not kill them before they infect more  :dunno:
