Show Illegal kill of elk totals 107 There were 107 elk illegally killed during the 1962 deer hunting seasons, according to the Utah State Department of Fish and Game. Department spokesmen noted that this kill amounted to almost al-most 10 per cent of the average annual legal elk harvest over the past 5 years. It was also noted that the known loss of 107 animals represented rep-resented only verified cases, with the probability that this figure would likely be nearly 50 per cent higher if all illegal kills were reported or known. Of the 107 known illegal kills, only a meager handfull of the majestic animals were able to be salvaged. |
