Interesting lead in to the elk site. I don\'t know if I\'ve ever hated the animal. I\'ve been eluded a few times, probably more than I\'ve been successful - scratch \"probably\" - but I think that has built a healthy respect for this animal and not a \'hate\'. You\'re right, though, one is never enough and every close encounter makes me want another one. Elk hunting is my drug of choice!
Love to hate?

Bill,
Welcome.
Hate may be harsh. This hate is a recognition that it\'s an addiction. It to is my drug of choice.
Oh, welcome to the site.

By about day 9 of being eluded, there is a fine line between hate and respect!
It becomes very clear why I enjoy killing them :evil:
Wecome, Bullnuts!

OH, all right. I probably don\'t hate the critters, but as someone suggested above, it gets close after 20-30 days waiting for one in a tree stand. Hate may not be the best way of expressing my feelings by that time. \"Ready to kill\", would be more appropriate.

Lol, now that\'s sound facts.
Brad: The difference between you and me is that I did without a bull last season, so I have a big head start on that love/hate thing. You have a measly 50 weeks. I have nearly two years and a lot of pent up frustration just stating into 2014. I can hardly wait to show them what I really think.
Even with all the rotten tricks they play on me, I still can\'t muster hatred for them. I reserve hatred for poisonous snakes, big hairy spiders, terrorists...Elk, I can only respect them. They teach me so many lessons every year, some I learn easily, some I learn hard, but I learn. Every year. So, on my quest to become the elk Jedi, I can only pocket those lessons and keep working hard to make the most of every opportunity.
