A Captive Shooter Bull Operation
This is a shooter bull holding operation in central North Dakota viewed from space via satellite. The larva like images in the trapezoid shaped corral are bull elk. The operator keeps the bulls in this feedlot until they grow antlers large enough to satisfy a well heeled client's desire to hang a large set of antlers on his or her wall. When the bulls reach trophy quality, they are moved to a kill pasture for a sham hunt.
There are at least 62 + elk in the right corral and 20 + in the left. The corral measures 130 yards at the widest, 75 yards per side, and 50 yards at the narrow end. That is roughly equal to 2 football fields for 80 + elk.
This photo shoots down the argument that the
Shooting Gallery Operators raise their
targets under conditions that rival wild deer and elk. Are the elk in
this picture wild? Not a blade of grass in the feedlot. How can the Shooting Gallery Operators argue their
elk are wild and give their clients a fair chase hunt when the elk in
the photo below are gathered around 6 cattle feeders? The answer is
self-evident. They aren't the least bit wild.
