Blame It on Elk Fever!

A man who Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife officers say was shooting into a herd of elk, killed one and wounded at least three others in January, while illegally shooting from a road. The 66-year-old man reportedly blamed “elk fever” when he self-reported the incident. His name has not been released pending the investigation. Troopers seized a .308 rifle for evidence, along with the elk the man had tagged and processed. Responding officers found three wounded elk wandering with the herd of about 30 animals.
