This morning an elk was taken in Oregon near an airport. (cant remember which one)
The weapon of choice was a Lear Jet.
The jet crashed in to the elk at the end of the runway when taking off this morning totally destroying the jet. The pilot and 3 passengers are ok, the elk, well lets just say there wasn’t enough to pick up for a descent burger.
Next time they want to go elk hunting I bet they will use some thing smaller, like maybe a 308 Weatherbee and smaller still is a 30-06 with a 220 grain silver tipped Springfield load.
