Dang thats pretty sad to see.
What a tragedy. And to not be able to harvest the meat for folks needing food is equally sad

I hate to see this kind of thing happen. Elk are such majestic creatures. What a waste!!!

That's just very sad!

Nature can be cruel.

Obviously these were none of the elk I have hunted the last 10 years. They were so smart and hid so well they would have crossed one at a time and been roped off to each other.

At least they didn't die alone.

Curious was the Bull Elk named Jim Jones? Asking for a friend.

This morning I saw five walking along the road out front. They appeared to be in pretty good shape; however, with the snow depths and temperatures being what they are, I suspect we'll have an unfortunate loss of animals this winter in this area. OTOH, if we have a major warm-up then that might change things... I don't see a warm-up on the way, though.

Warm up? We're getting into -20s next week.
This is too bad. Maybe some changes in hunting regs to harvest more?

Thats to bad.
Sounds like ODFW needs to pass a law banning elk from walking on frozen bodies of water.

Thats to bad.
Sounds like ODFW needs to pass a law banning elk from walking on frozen bodies of water.

Along with placement of deer crossing signs in less heavily vehicle traffic areas so the deer and elk won't cross where there is so much traffic...
