I would do it in a heartbeat, not because I have never killed an elk, but because there is a reason for the depredation permits. I would rather put it in my freezer than have a farmer gut shoot it so it gets off the field and let it rot or have to have the state pay someone to snipe them. Here whitetails are hated by farmers and I know lots of farmers who kill them in the summer and let them rot instead of watching them eat their crops. Meat is meat and an elk has a lot of meat, I eat meat.
