Jim Gerish mentioned elk migrations wrecking fences when he moved to Idaho. Do I have the right animal? Anway, instead of trying to build a stronger fence that would still break, he lowered it a little so they could go over it, high tensile and powerflex posts, still goin' strong.
I've asked this before, in our State we can shoot animals that are getting into our field or destroying fences, this includes deer, moose and bear. I can also shoot a bear for thinking he may be a danger to my calves. I don't need a permit, I just need to leave it and report it within 12 hours. I think you can keep a couple, then the rest have to be donated to charity. Hunting laws don't apply so you can hunt them at night if you like. If I wanted someone else to do it for me while I was away, I'd need a permit from the warden. How many other states have laws like this favoring farms?
Reminds me of when I was a kid, they tried to introduce Caribou into Maine. I guess they eat lichen or something, they all migrated to Canada and/or died. No Caribou for Maine.
