Golf, rifles, beer and hunting????? AT THE SAME TIMEOriginally posted by Gatofeo:
In the early 1990s, in St. Maries, Idaho, an elk herd moved onto and near the greens of the local golf course.
Some duffers started putting their 7mm Rem Mag and .30-06 in their golf bag. I seem to recall that one elk was shot in the woods, just off the green.
Anyway, the golf course owners and Idaho Fish & Game stepped in and said, 'Nahhhhhhhhhhh ... we're not gonna have any of THAT around here."
They declared the greens and nearby woods a no shooting zone.
I agree with it. It was an accident waiting to happen, especially when some golfers downed a few beers before hitting the links.
Besides, it was hardly sporting.
