Dang things seem are everywhere these days. I filmed this little group this morning a few hundred yards from the house.

Well, anything much over 100 seems to be a big group. 200-300 is definitely on the big side around here.What does it take to be a big group?
I bet they ruin a hay fieldWell, anything much over 100 seems to be a big group. 200-300 is definitely on the big side around here.
They do. And if we didn't fence them out of our hay yards we'd be out of business.I bet they ruin a hay field
I've heard thatGuess shooting a few isn't allowed?
We can only get a single tag for the genera open season, and can also apply for a Limited Entry Hunt (LEH) tag. Apparently the odds of being successful in this draw are very good, although I have not been drawn yet. There are no "nuisance tags" or anything helpful like that. Crop insurance covers elk damage, but it's a complete joke. There is no compensation for destroyed fences, and there is no shortage of that.Can you get permits to hunt them? Like our deer here in Va, they upped the number we could get in our county... maybe the whole state??? ... but we got damage permits this summer because of there being soo many of them..... I have heard elk are good eating... and while they may be graceful... I cannot imagine the damage they can do...
If that was a small number I would hate to see a big number...
We counted over 50 miserable destructive white tails in the field across from my house last winter.... they demolished the wheat my son planted as a cover crop 2 years ago.... they got 10 this summer with the damage permits and between the several that hunted this fall I know of 12 they got...
A good elk is as good as beef, and much better than venison...... I have heard elk are good eating...
You eat Roos?We can get mitigation permits for roos to take out quite a few, usually in droughts where they make a big impact on what grasses we have left. Other times they seem to disperse in the scrub and are not a problem. An alternative is to get in professional roo shooters who have their own tags and take them to a chiller box for processing.

I don't eat it a lot but yes it is very edible, very lean so you have to go easy on the cooking. I like doing the tail in the slow cooker.You eat Roos?
In the slow cooker it just falls apart.Well, they are an animal. I just never thought about Roos has a meat animal. They can be really MUSCLED! How about the tail? Is it too tough?
