First is the mention of how Eastern and Merriams subspecies became extinct. This was not due to hunting but as a result of Market hunting. Hunting as a managed practice did not cause the extinctions. Secondly it is disturbing that elk are being released from farm operations which introduces the great chance of spreading diseases into wild populations. CWD, Tuberculosis and Brucellosis as prime concerns! This is a prime concern and dangerous to our wildlife!! Nice bull but several disturbing facts are misguided.

P.S. Antlers not horns, are what these animals have topside......they are replaced every year by something better, or possibly larger.....and the beauty of the animal is greater than the bounty, although the best looking Elk or Deer I have ever seen, was on the barbeque grill!!!

I live in Mississippi so I am around it all the time and even went hunting when I was younger with my dad. But something that big and magnificent should have been left alive. I guess all we could hope for is that he was able to get his genes out. I don’t have a problem with hunting.

By the way, the claim made above by "El Paso" that there are no native elk left in New Mexico is bull, no pun intended. However, I do agree with his statement that West Texas is vast and untamed. I believe that there are native elk left in Texas or at least some that have wandered down from New Mexico. Most folks are unaware of the fact that species such as elk, black bears, and even grizzlies are native to Texas, though most of them were killed out in the 1800s (all of the grizzlies, most of the black bears and elk). I would like to see these species make a comeback. Also, all you tree huggers need to quit whining and stay out of Texas' business. If you don't like hunting, don't read hunting articles. You can take your Bambi mentality somewhere else. Keep Texas wild.

Nice article that covers all the angles. I enjoyed reading it a lot more than all these posts. Only a few were worth the time. Sounds like the guy had no idea it was "ranch-raised" or had ever had a tag. For that matter, the hole in his ear could have easily been a bullet hole. I have only ever seen ONE (and only one) that might come close in Idaho, and I would shoot it in a second if allowed. Until then, raghorns and cows taste fine. Nice bull.
