Yeah, I read about that. I think the guy was excited to see an "elk" and pulled the trigger. Even so, i think that i would have noticed the difference between a Lama a cow elk. I don't really know why he tagged it. I was really surprised to see that he had gutted it!!! I would have just called and asked what to do with it. Then again, I dont think I would have shot a lama. It is admirable, though, that the man tried to do the right thing afterwards.

Man oh man oh man. Not everybody grows up in the woods, huh? My ol' college perfesser up in Glens Falls, NY e-mailed me about that poor fella, and we both thought it was funny as hell. He tells me the dude is wanting to sue the fish & game dept. for publicizing what was truly a nation-wide EMBARRASSMENT FROM HELL! But still, you should know yer farm animals from yer game animals. CRINGE!!!

Kinda pathetic, I guess he needs to invest in better optics. I would hope that you could tell the difference between an elk and a lama. People are to lazy to take the time to make sure what they are shooting is what they suppose to shoot.

The CO DOW makes a big deal of differentiating between elk and moose but this guys needs to have his eyes checked.

Unfortunately stuff like that happens too often. A fewyears back a lady from northern WI shot an 800# cow moose because she thought it was a large whitetail doe. Oops. Moose usually are not found in WI. She went bragging about it in a bar. whatever happened to knowing your target?

Its a real shame that he got a tag that someone else could have used. Hope those lama steaks were good!!!
