I thought initially you were referring to the animal in Reedsport—whcih is about 45 minutes away from Elkton and about ten minutes away from the favourite grazing ground of a huge elk heard that caused so may accidents from rubbernecking tourists that many viewing sites were put in.
Deer are bad, but you are most definitely right that Elk are worse, and don’t get me started on Moose.
Dad went to high school a couple blocks away, but he is in Ohio now and I’m pretty sure both that all my poaching inclined relatives are either dead or out of area, and everyone in my family would not think of poaching without eating.
Oregon has definitely changed for the worse.
“Oregon has definitely changed for the worse.”

It’ll take a decade or two to “right the ship.”

There was a sizable elk population on the CB water board’s Pony Creek watershed. They spilled over into town, and made a habit of crossing Ocean Blvd. not far from Mingus Park. They also crossed the highway in the Barview area (near Pigeon Point) to swim across the bay to the North Spit. Some were trapped and sent to the Great Smoky Mountains. A friend saw a few clopping down the road by St. Monica’s, toward Telegraph Hill.
Some bad fentanyl...as opposed to the good fentanyl...going around the Bay Area the last couple of weeks.
A friend years ago got the tailgate on his F150 seriously bsshed up by a poed Moose. There was a foot of snow on the dirt road and he couldnt drive fast enough to get away from one seriously angry moose.
