This is why I often take a shotgun with me when checking on outside noises...

Zelenka grabbed his air rifle and stepped onto the porch for a quick look at the elk.

Good reason.

Daddy always told me to use enough gun.

Glenwood has a awesome hot spring there used to stop there on the way to Winter park .

Well that's different.

If it happened in my front yard, I'd have some serious questions.

 

[Capn Jack]

Should have turned off the lights and gone back to bed.
Cats have got to eat too.

 

[Knobgoblin]

I have an air rifle, and I pee frequently . Seems I have the tools to play this game.

 

[Jay Walk]

Pow... There is no shortage of Mountain Lion's.

 

[Nosferatu]

Should have grabbed a knife and a fork!

Maybe gift the kitty a bottle of red wine...?

I would have loved to have seen that...Nature is incredible.

That's why wives always send their husband out for the morning paper.

A traffic barrel and a whistle would've made all the difference.

Well that's different.

If it happened in my front yard, I'd have some serious questions.

If I lived in a rural setting and this happened on my porch. I'd fill my cougar tag and call OSP or ODFW to get the elk meat donated or hopefully I'd get to keep it for myself.

In with a belated edit. I neglected to mention none of the incident would be documented for public consumption, nor would I contact any news outlets. Some people need to realize that going viral shouldn't be a life goal! Put your camera phones down for a minute!

From the article:

"I didn't really want to disturb the area too much till the DOW came, because you just never know how law enforcement approaches this thing," Zelenka says…"

Mr. Z has been eating too much tofu.

He could've had both elk and lion meat.

Was that cat wounded? It was tracking blood with its left rear paw and to my eye seemed to be walking funny.

 

[Alexx1401]

After all that work to make the kill seems a shame the cat did not get to at least get a good meal.
