Great, now we have tame elk. Once the Dept gets wind of this we will have even more catagories to apply in.

In all seriousness, this thread reminds me of one a few years ago, too bad, after not getting a 6X with your longbow during the permit season, we will probably not hear from you again.
Anybody who thinks that the Elk are tame, definately either is a much better woodsman/Elk hunter than I am, and a vast majority of elk hunters in Washington, or is hunting at NW Trek.

Ya, I would feel kind of bad. But then I would think about all the times I spent hundreds of dollars on tags and gear over the years, only to get skunked.. And then I would drop the hammer on that old boy, and WHOOHOO! :IBCOOL:

I'll be over scouting in the Umtanum this weekend.  When I was a kid, if the horses got spooked we used to calm them by scratching them behind the ears and calmly talking to them while feeding them carrots and sugar cubes, sometimes giving them kisses on their nose.  Think this will work on these 'tame' elk?  I'm going to try and will let everyone know how it goes.

Don't forget the kissy sounds.

That's actually what I use during the whitetail rut.  That and slappin' my leg and hollarin' "here boy!"

That's how we did it back in NH. I felt so bad about killing those ones, too. All of 'em. Every single one gave me guilt pangs. I think I still hate myself.
