Here is the elk in question. Obviously these mossback guys feel like they have him in the bag already as he's all over there website.


Let's get it straight so everyone can see what I'm talking about:

This according to everything I've heard is a wild elk on public land.....so, is it "fair chase"??

Technically, how could anyone say no? I said to "improve fair chase".

From what I've gathered from some Utah boys, and it seems very reasonable,this ol' boy has a whole army of guides/outfitters camped out on him every day...just waiting for the season to start.

Again, is this fair chase??? We could get into a whole 'nother descussion (which used to go dozens of pages around here regarding the use of guides and stuff...not that I'm personally against them).

Still it would be hard to say this is not "fair chase"

All that being said, just does not seem very sporting. I'd personally like to see him break half his antlers off, but I doubt it. However that would probably only solve the problem until next year. Probably the best thing that could happen would be for the state of Utah to dart and transplant him to anther wilderness area.

Is it fair chase??Technically yes. Is it sporting??? You decide. I say no.
