Turns Out Elk Can Hunt Too

Man Kills Elk, Elk Impales Man Moments Later

Other members of Heeter’s hunting party attempted first aid in hopes of stopping his bleeding. First responders were flown to the scene in a Life Flight helicopter, but the remote location made landing near Heeter a challenge, according to KATU. Eventually, the copter was able to find a suitable landing site about half a mile from where the crash took place. Meanwhile, a deputy from the Crooks County Sheriff’s Office arrived at the crash scene on foot. The officer said Heeter was conscious and communicative, but appeared to be going into shock, according to KTVZ. Heeter was carried half a mile to the helicopter and flown to a Bend hospital, according to KOIN. He is currently in stable condition,

Talk about Karma, serves him rights for killing the poor creature, now he will have all the time he needs to think about the consequences of his actions and a reminder of the elk.

I saw one at a farm once . They are hugh. Hands higher than a horse.

That is not a case of an elk hunting something else.

Also, in this thread: Chili The Right Way!

You mention using all these poor animals:

Meats - Turkey Sausage, Italian Sausage, Ground Sirloin, Bacon, Veal, Ground Pork and Ground Chicken breast.

Maybe they should have impaled you prior to the cooking process.

Karma, certainly can be a biatch at times.

At least he died doing something he enjoyed.

This man went out as part of nature and earned his sustenance the honorable way.

From the sounds of things you purchase imprisoned livestock, tortured and killed on an assembly line, from a big corporate entity in town.

Wonder what karma that kind of flagrant disregard for life accrues?

The hunter, paid a price we all should have to risk paying to acquire food imo. Modern city folk dont respect food, they require it for indulgence and flare, not for its necessary value.

Another idiotic anti-hunting post.

I bet you think tacos grow on trees.

Do people find a problem with a creature hunting for food? Or eating to survive? If you do then you must surely have a problem with elk for the 10 to 15lbs of vegetation they eat a day? Right ? Or maybe this an alternative reality where living off the land is an evil evil thing...

Also, I lived on Mt Hood, Oregon for 10 years. This man, more than likely feed his family for the better part of a year with an Elk.

Most folk in the Mountains there depend on steelhead, salmon, blacktail and Elk to survive. This mans family may go without if he didnt make it, your short sighted out of touch nature is infuriating.

As I read the article he was in stable condition.Elk are delicious from what I have had and if I had the chance to put one in my freezer. I damn sure would.Guess a couple of deer will have to do though.Here bambi,here,lol.

Now , possibly , he is in the hospital and the family will not eat .
I really hope you are not a US citizen. Really I do.

Wow!

Augustus sure took you down! The hypocrisy of it all!

Yeah he should get his meat from a grocery store. That way no animals are killed at all.

I hunt 80% of my family's meat every year with a bow. It's not friggin easy, and a lot of work.

a reply to: Natas0114 Darn right it`s not easy,but rewarding is an understatement.Use muzzleloaders and rifle myself.After falling off a ladder and screwing up my back drawing a bow just isn`t worth getting messed up.Crossbow isn`t the same,though I have taken a few that way.Wild game is the healthiest and best meat you can get in my opinion.Like the guy in the op found out it can be dangerous though.
