[QUOTE="Old teacher, post: 1082186, member: 48420"] Does anyone know how to keep elk from destroying your property? I live in Northwest WA along highway 20, and in the two mile stretch between the highway and the Skagit river are five herds of elk along about 20 miles of highway. The elk population in this area is around 2500, hundreds of big bulls, several Boone and Crockett size. They eat everything. They have done about $25,000 in damage to just my place, and everyone around here has the same problem. They kill livestock and pets. I have tried everything to get the game department to do something, but the most they will do is come out and put up beepers which are supposed to scare they away, and they do...for about five minutes. I have put up fences and they tear them down. I have sprayed my land scapeing with a mixture of junk that is supposed to taste bad, but it seems to just make a good dessert. The game department's answer to this problem...they issued 28 cow permits for black powder hunters. I never thought I would ever do anything like poison an animal, but if I knew something that would kill them, I would cover my whole place with it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
