in Romania.
they eat you, bears. They open you up and eat your offaly bits. ( they must be northerners ).
assuming it's all regulated like.
Going elk hunting next autumn for the first time. Will be in Montana. Should be fun.
stamp you to death with their big, sharp hooves and, remember, you only get one shot.
wildlife into oblivion? And before you accuse me of hypocrisy I shoot vermin
Maybe in Alaska.
Elk population is such that the herds need to be culled. This is due to the elimination of natural predators, namely the wolf.
Wolves have been reintroduced in some parts of the Rockies, but as you can imagine the ranchers aren't too keen to have wolves roaming around.
You get a tag for either a cow or a bull depending on their population. Without hunting they roam everywhere in search of food, including into town where they can do some real damage, especially if you run into one with your car!
The scenery is incredible, I was there last autumn and met some great folks, hence my opportunity to go on a hunt this coming autumn.
The herds have to be culled annually to prevent all sorts of damage and disease. No natural predators since the wolf is not around any more.
Actually you do get your coyote killing an elk from time to time, but those are calves 95% of the time.
It's all regulated and quite necessary. Plus many hunters, including myself in this instance, donate the meat to food pantries and kitchens for the needy.
