Title: Trophy Elk Article in todays Olympian
Post by: sdwwaverider on November 05, 2008, 02:57:52 PM: Here's an article in todays paper that should get some interesting comments. My stance is public land, fair chase. As for a governors tag unfortunetly I don't see myself having enough disposeable cash in the near future for it to be an issue in my life. It's enough to pull together enough cash each year for all the special permit hunts on time.
