If I was a PETA person I would point out, nobody cares if you round up
a dozen cows in that pen and kill them.
If you do eat meat you have to say "so what"?
At least they died fairly quickly in archery hunting terms and none
crawled off and died a slow death without being recovered.
What would the PETA folks say if it was a pack of wolves that had the
elk trapped in there?

You know, canned hunts are wrong, but I'm kind of with you on this
one. After all: "The hunting season was created to keep elk out of
the residential and farm areas in eastern Skagit County." Well, they
were most definitely in a farm area, the state wildlife commission
felt they needed a hunt to bring the population down, and it
accomplished exactly what they wanted. Unfortunately it was visible
to some cappuccino drinkers passing by, who want their steak medium-
rare on their plate but don't want to think about how it got there.

As long as the elk were dressed and eaten, in the end it wasn't ideal
but it was effective. If there are herds of elk that will stand
around and let themselves be surrounded and fired upon by men out in a
field, they definitely have an elk problem. They need to open the
season back up.

The last time I was in Chuck county Md a farmer could get a permit to
shoot any deer they saw on their property, night or day.
Just turn on the flood light and blast away.
They are 180 pound rats up there, evidently.

Technically, you can shoot a deer in your backyard from your elevated
deck if you are using a bow in Montgomery County, MD. Just make sure you
have the proper hunting license.

Don't suppose you'd consider renting your back deck and a bow some
evening, would you?

You moron. A shotgun is used to great people who come to the front
door. i use my Glock 18 for hunting. it makes it much easier to
field dress the animal when you don't have to remove all the buckshot.

it is so easy to spot those spoofing me, you are all stupid as dog
turds, without any of the redeeming social value of a dog turd.
