The state game commission, in their infinite wisdom relocated a herd of elk in the forest next to my friends orchard. The bull elk would destroy an apple tree in minutes.
After many calls and no response, he shot several of the elk in his orchard, and called the warden to come and get their dead elk. They arrested him. He sued and won big time for damages, defamation, and illegal prosecution and won a big settlement.
A friend of my brothers has a small farm. He mentioned the nice deer he shot recently.
“Isn’t it out of season?”
“I feed them all year - some of them can return the favor and feed my family!”
