Allison,
If you worry about hitting an elk, do you also worry about a drunk hitting you? That is much more likely and would you then send your bills to InBev or Jack Daniels? I am thrilled that I can perhaps see a wild elk in its free range environ someday and I am a “people”. Hurray for our model MCD. They always amaze me.

The “people” DO want this, apparently YOU don’t want them to return to where they are supposed to live. I’d be okay with sending the car damage bills to the MDC if they could countersue the drivers, for elk pain and suffering damages. )

Valarie, you notice that the only comments made in this article are the government ’suits.’ The ‘people’ didnt want this, just like they didnt want to trade a truckload of rattlesnakes for a truckload of turkeys several years ago. Yes the elk will be on the roads and people will die. I just hope everyone who hits one of these monster-size animals send their bills to Conservation. Maybe they’ll get them all hunted out before the population gets too awful big.

Valarie, The elk restoration zone is a 346-square-mile area of Shannon, Carter and Reynolds counties that consists mainly of state and federally owned land and land owned by the L-A-D Foundation. There are some roads into the the Peck Ranch area. The elk, however, are free to range where they will. They can possibly get to U.S. Highway 60 to the south of the restoration zone, Missouri Hwy. 106, north of the zone, or Missouri Hwy. 19, west of the zone. I haven’t heard of traffic problems yet, but as the herd grows, there may be some.

Are these elk going to be in an area with traffic?

Ironically, Ella Ewing was reportedly very sensitive about her feet. One of the only accounts of her being cross with anyone was a spectator who asked to see her feet.

Comment on Missouri House introduces resolution on Riverways GMP by Tom Neff

I have not seen the NPS plan. In a nutshell, why has the MO Gen Assembly decided they have to send a shot across the bow? If the NPS plan seeks to provide greater protection of the federally supported and run Riverways due to the exponential growth in visitors to the system, I wholeheartedly support their efforts. As an intern there in 1987, I witnessed firsthand, the impact we (and the 100,000s of other visitors) have on the very ecosystem that supports game, fish, and all recreational activities with the entire region, not simply the critical portion known as the Ozark National Scenic Riverways. Thank you.

Tony, in 1959, protection was asked for the Current and Eleven Point Rivers. Both were eventually protected, though under different federal acts and agencies. – Jo
