A guy around here just got fined a **** load for shooting a trophy size bull elk. They are illegal to shoot even on private land. Fine was in the 10’s of thousands of dollars. Should have been more.
Can you kill any elk? Not sure of your regulations. One of my customers got a dandy on the Missouri Breaks on opening day of archery season. From the base of the skull to the top of its antlers is over 9 feet. Pure luck.
