    It’s too bad that they have to hire sharpshooters to kill the elk when I’m sure we could get a big group of IDO’ers to do it for free.

    Maybe I’m just being a little cynical today, but isn’t it convenient that the gov’t will be ‘buying’ all 700 elk from a property that has plans for new development? I wonder if that was a TARP earmark?

    I wonder what the company was going to do with the animals once they started the project. Is this just a convenient way to dispose of the elk? I sure hope not!! That is a lot of meat going to waste!

    Have seen a couple of whitetails in that enclosure – sure hope they were taken out. Is it true that elk herd owners are required to destroy deer that somehow manage to get into one of their herd enclosures?

    the problem was the owners wanted $3500 to go pop one. of course that included the butchering etc. but for $3500, I’ll head out west and get me a wild one.

    the land is beiong turned in the Elk Run Biotechnology center of Minnesota.

    What about Minnesota is so different than Wisconsin that you don’t have CWD?
