No elk season in WI, so no license violation. However there are elk, in the area they were hunting in, and a multitude of warnings not to mistake an elk for a deer, nor a wolf for a coyote, or pay the price. I'd guess they lucked out shooting game farm elk, road hunting and damage to property, rather than paying the cost to the people of the State of Wisconsin of an Elk. Runs $3000-$4000 for a whitetail, in addition to the fines, I can't imagine what they'd figure an Elk costs the state.

When growing up in Wyoming our neighbor had 5 saddle horses shot by a hunter from Pennsylvania. He thought they were just large does. They were not the best of livestock, but he paid dearly both for the horses and to the state for the numerous violations.

One fall my dad and the local funeral director (a friend of the family for years) set up a 55 gallon drum on saw horses, covered it with an old cow hide and fastened an old moth eaten deer head to it. They set this contraption up by a fairly busy road and would go out and count the bullet holes a couple of times a week. Seesh, the dummies would shoot several times at the other dummy and wonder why it just stood there.
