Wild Rivers, as far as it going from the wild to the pen. We asked that question to the head of big game for the DNR at a public forum in Rochester. He refused to answer that question.
Another big stink they were trying to stir up was the contamination of the soil for who knows how many years. The elk farm is being turned in to a billion dollar medical research facility. They were complaining that the escavation equipment was dragging this contaminated soil out on the highways and all over SE Mn. Contaminating everything around. I asked the head of the DNR at the forum if they had any concerns about all the 4 wheelers and recreation vehicles that travel out to the Rockies every fall was an issue. I asked him if it would be a wise move to require these vehicles to go a wash facility and clean up before reentering the state. Much as they do on boats that enter the inland lakes. He didn't think it would be necessary, and it would be to much of an inconvience to these people. Hows that for double standards?
