2021 - Total 84 Landowner Applications for 1 Elk Tag in Missouri
2021 - Total 9,630 Resident Application for 4 Elk Tags in MIssouri.
Compared to last years 1st Missouri Elk Season
2020 - Total of 19,215 Application for the 5 Elk Tags.
2020 - Total 33 Landowner Applications for 1 Elk Tag in Missouri
2020 - Total 19,182 Resident Application for 4 Elk Tags in MIssouri.
I stated in 2018 - Will surrounding landowners get chance at additional tags that are transferable, since no tag system is that way in Missouri.
Make no sense that that landowners’ partnerships that MDC brags about do not get half the tags. – They must deal with elk damage fence, helping the MDC on the far roaming elk with food source throughout the year, tagging efforts, etc.
Make them transferable so they can recoup the damage. Increase the number of tags for landowners.

December 28, 2020 - I would like to request the records that shows that all 5 Bull Elk were tested for Chronic Wasting Disease, when they where tested, where samples where sent, when results came back and the Results of those test for all 5 Bull Elk.
January 4, 2021 - Dear Mr. Morris: This will acknowledge receipt of your request for information regarding CWD testing information from 2020’s harvested elk.
However, we are still in the process of testing and will provide you with the results when they are available. The Missouri Department of Conservation will waive its standard search fee in providing this information to you.

MISSOURI ELK 2020
MISSOURI ELK SEASON 2020?
PECK RANCH CONSERVATION AREA PETTING ZOO
If this is what Hunting Elk in Missouri is going to be like - I don't want any part of it first few season.
But to each his own.
One of the questions I asked during meeting, was what negative reinforcements are you doing to make the Elk Fear Humans?
Otherwise it's going to be like shooing fish in a barrel. That was before I got these photos sent to me.
They said well we have managed hunts for deer and that will take care of it. REALLY!!!
I am not elk hunter but my understanding once elk get hunting pressure they will leave that area. Maybe that's why they haven't move out of home range yet, it has become more like a petting zoo with, elk tourist driving thru. That might be great for the local economy, but this ain't right.
Missouri Concerned Citizen Photos sent to me.

Way too much human contact and everyone knows it, that is a landowner around Pecks Ranch.
MDC had been told by several individuals that negative reinforcement is needed!
Missouri Peck's Ranch Bull Elk that didn't make the MDC news.
MISSOURI ELK 2020
What is happening to the Elk on Peck's Ranch Conservation Area? Guess you won't see this in the press releases or news.
July 4, 2020 now August 5, 2020
Is this Brainworm?
Is this Chronic Wasting Disease found in Deer herd in Oregon County and Arkansas?
Is this Bovine Tuberculosis?
What is the explanation of these now two cow elk?
First one on Peck's, now the second outside the Pecks Ranch boundary.
Does this threatened the Deer herd or the cattle in area?
What does the Missouri State Vet have to say about this?
Has the Missouri Department of Conservation made any statements about this?
If the public is taking photos they have to know?
Has any of the local media in area address this?
What does the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation say about this?
By the way the multiple CWD positive Deer in Oregon County, Missouri are only 32 to 35 miles away from location of the Elk Killed in 2020.
If Missouri would have kept the 2018 CWD Zone of 25 miles instead of the sudden change of CWD Zone of 10 miles in 2019 the entire Elk Herd in Missouri would be in a CWD Zone.

Any one part of the 300 plus landowners around the Missouri Elk.
MISSOURI ELK 2018
Made it to the Missouri Elk Meeting in Van Buren on December 3rd, 2018. Just a roam and talk to individuals at different table. Interesting what the future will hold.
Elk in Missouri.
1. Was surprised how many viewed across the state.
2. Also population is just under 180 animals, had calf deaths this year.
3. Also surprising around 50 % are cows and 50 % are bulls.
4. They like open landscape with woods nearby.
Elk in Missouri make your opinions known on link.
My opinion.
1. Resident only,
2. Should have a Elk Festival weekend like Arkansas does,
3. Will surrounding landowners get chance at additional tags that are transferable, since no tag system is that way in Missouri, if so please announce make this public,
4. Please make public aware of odds of being drawn, since Arkansas is like 10 out of 11,000 low chance of being drawn,
5. Will Missouri RMEF get a tag to auction off, if so public needs to known ahead of time.
They want public comments on 4 subjects.

Cougar in Missouri
I asked about the cougar trapped back in 2012 and was at the start of the southeast red line I drew, relocated to the north point and found it's was back right in the middle of the swarm of GPS elk location and has feed on dead elk..6 years ago that cat has to be getting big by now
