Remember when that huge bull elk got poached in Estes Park back in the 90s? I recall they had to jail the perp for his own protection. Lynching was discussed...
They take their furry critters seriously up there!
(in no way - no how - am I condoning poaching)

I am related, through marriage, to the guy that whacked Samson the Elk in Estes Park. Fast forward to 2008 when he tried to board an airplane. Somehow he had been placed on the do not fly list. All cleared up now but funny for me at the time. There is a huge bronze statue of that Elk in downtown Estes. They are fanatic about those beasts out there.
