Two illegal elk kills lands WI woman a fine

Killed out of season without permits, a Wisconsin woman must pay a forfeiture of more than $6,000. 

A Mukwonago woman has been issued a $6,150 citation for mistakenly killing two elk while deer hunting

As I read the story, she will not loose hunting privileges or the .44 cal. semi-automatic rifle with which she killed the elk.

Keep in mind that elk 

and other Wisconsin wildlife are held in trust by the state for all the people.

Also keep in mind that deer are roughly to elk, as, say, Black Angus steers

are to Texas Longhorns:


Which is why the DNR says know what you're shooting at!
