Missouri’s elk reintroduction launched in 2011 and its first elk hunting season was in 2020 – but with success comes a downside.
As 2025 ended, Missouri Department of Conservation officials were still looking to identify who poached a bull elk in late November at Peck Ranch Conservation Area, one of the sites where elk were first released to the state.

It’s a question that hunters, anglers, hikers, birders, paddlers, and public land neighbors all wrestle with, even if we don’t always name it out loud. It’s that ever present elephant in the room.
In a recent issue of Wisconsin Outdoor News, Dean Bortz lamented his most recent “unsuccessful” elk hunt and mentioned repeatedly that “when I grow up, I want to be a successful elk hunter like Pat Durkin and Christine Thomas.”
This is the perfect opening for me to tell an elk hunting story.
