Might have been an elk. Those can cause serious damage.
Possible, and there are a lot of elk here in North Idaho, but she knows her wildlife. But maybe she didn’t see it smack her truck on the right side at dusk. I saw the dents - wow!
Especially when they are drunk after the Lodge Christmas party.
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.
