[QUOTE="frenchie, post: 251292, member: 451"] Dick, that would have of likely been around 94 or 95 before the ban.He was still living in the same yard as me .I bought him and my siblings out in Nov of 95. But its not like he was feeding it he just punched a hole in one corner walked around the outside of hay yard fences Scare cannons don,t work.They get used to them. We had trouble with fences too, till I wisened up and put some slack in the top wire of our high-tensile fences That made a huge difference, unfortunately it does not help with Moose:lol they don,t seem to know how to lift their feet.Sure glad that they only come through every couple of yrs. The problem with elk is once they climb up on a bale and P.I.S.S on it, the cows generally refuse to eat it. We used to have the same problem here with elk destroying hay bales in this area of Manitoba,(some guys would lose all the hay bales in a field) till one rancher in this area got tired of having to chase them off every nite. He shot an elk,left him where he fell phoned the game warden told him what he had done. They hauled him in to court and they lost.Basically The judge told them that gov,t had a responsiblity to have these animals under control(not the rancher) and the rancher had a right to protect his livelyhood.That meant that anyone having a problem with an elk in his hay could shoot them without consequence :lol: Funny thing is . :lol: Within a yr or so they had trapped most of the problem elk herds in this area. And then sold them off to elk ranchers. [/QUOTE]
