Iowa Elk herd to be shot...

[shedhunter93]

They already shot a calf so nothing is going to stop them in shooting the others...

These elk have summered on our farm for the last 3 or 4 years. CWD threat is bunk. Iowa already has CWD if they're ever going to get it, this is another excuse for the DNR to stick their nose where it doesn't belong. The DNR in Allamakee County doesn't have time to investigate poaching cases but they're going to spend money and time trying to kill all of these elk? I'm really hoping they move back towards our place or any of our neighbors; the DNR certainly won't feel welcome there.

Welcome NRLO.

Have you actually watched these elk ever?

thats what I thought.

I mentioned in a previous post we have had elk in eastern Iowa for a long time. I've lived here my whole life, and yes i have watched them. I remember when the first bull was sighted moving from farm to farm some 30 years ago. Is that good enough for you. Where in Iowa do you live? And please kbnelson3; don't try to think!

Bad idea to let them repopulate...farmers wouldn't be so happy.
