These elk have summered on our farm for the last 3 or 4 years. CWD threat is bunk. Iowa already has CWD if they're ever going to get it, this is another excuse for the DNR to stick their nose where it doesn't belong. The DNR in Allamakee County doesn't have time to investigate poaching cases but they're going to spend money and time trying to kill all of these elk? I'm really hoping they move back towards our place or any of our neighbors; the DNR certainly won't feel welcome there.
On the elk causing crop damage: I've watched this little herd a lot, I've seen them in cornfields, they're no worse than whitetails or raccoons. Typical farmers complaining..
