There is a landowner around here that gets damage permits.

Last year my sister had a cow tag for the same area.We went by and saw 8 or 10 cows in his field.I asked if my sister could shoot 1.

He didnt know the elk were there till I told him.He never sais a word.Goes to his truck.Grabs his rifle and goes to look.Just sees cows.

Tells my sister that he would rather leave them alone and see if a bull joins them.I was steamed.

I think landowners should be able to recoup some of the cost of the damage.I know people that lose a significant amount of money every year to elk damage.

I also think we should be able to access a list of landowners who get damage permits.

Tried checkin last year and got exactly nowhere.
