Now it is rarely, before they were all on private land. LMAO You have telemetry collars on them and monitor them from the bat cave?

They aren't staying there though. Nice try.

Now if they find their way to the Needmore Game Lands, they might stick around. :)

The nice try is you acting like you know where everyone of them are at all times. They go where the preferred food is at any given time.

As I undestand it the elk seen there are just transients passing through but the Forest Service wants to cut and manage 200 acres to keep them there.

You would know better than I but thats what I got from the Forest Service.

How many Elk reside in NC? And is there a hunting season?

Those things are getting so much media there will never be a hunting season. Between the tourist trap value and the tree huggers when it comes time PETA will be so firmly embedded IF they start the wheels going toward thinning them out they will keep them tied up in court forever, it will never fly. Write that down.

Another good thread CRC. The Elk are indeed popular and are getting more popular each year. Perhaps we can transform this popularity into elk spreading into the Smokey, Blue Ridge, South, Iron and Unaka Mountains.
