Does anybody else notice the "necklace" around the elk on the left. Just wondering what that was. Maybe a reason why they seem tame, or is that something from the DNR.

Hey nutter,

My backyard feeder here in Laurelville

The elk were actually native to the area around the 20's and they got killed off. The game commission decided to bring them back and the numbers are groing rapidly. So now they are doing a hunt for them for the past 3 years now and they only kill 15 bulls and 25 cows. Which i dont agree with because they have been around humans all they're lives and they are so used to them. I have seen videos of people (the guy in the pic) feeding an elk from his hand (believ it or not)!!! And the collar is a tracking device I'm thinking. They study the elk as well.

And the moultrie cam i use is a cabelas model it is a 4.1 mega pixel with 30ft. flash. I love it! for 160$ you cant beat that.

And the feeder is actually pretty common up there. They elk and deer will chew a ear of corn untill they can get it through the wire. I have seen some agressive bulls beat the feeders out of frustration!

LOL!!! How did you get that close!?!?! Maybe you should give that "camo" a try this archery season! [&:]
