Woman possibly feeding wildlife killed in first deadly elk attack in Arizona The woman was found on Oct. 26 by her husband with "injuries consistent with being trampled by an elk," officials with AZGFD said. Author: Haley Williams Published: 8:28 AM MST November 8, 2023 Updated: 8:28 AM MST November 8, 2023 KINGMAN, Ariz. — A woman died after being attacked by an elk near her home in the Pine Lake community in the Hualapai Mountains, according to Arizona Game and Fish Department officials. Officials believe this is the first deadly elk attack in the state of Arizona. The woman was found on Oct. 26 by her husband with "injuries consistent with being trampled by an elk," officials with AZGFD said. He told officials when he found her, there was a bucket of spilled corn nearby. Officials believe the attack was related to the feeding of wildlife in the area. "The public is urged to help keep wildlife wild," a statement from AZGFD said. "Wildlife that are fed by people, or that get food sources from items such as unsecured garbage or pet food, lose their natural fear of humans and become dependent on unnatural food sources. Feeding puts at risk the person doing the feeding, their neighbors, and the wildlife itself." The woman was first taken to Kingman Regional Medical Center and then to Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas. Her husband told AZGFD officials that she was put into a medically induced coma due to the severity of her injuries. AZGFD went to the community where the attack happened and hung warnings on residents' doors which advised people not to approach or feed wildlife. They also visited the site of where the woman was hurt and found elk tracks on the ground. AZGFD officials were notified that the woman died on Nov. 3. The Clark County Medical Examiner's Office ruled the death accidental. According to AZFWD, there have been five reported elk attacks in the state during the past five years, but this was the first fatal attack. "In 2015, two children suffered minor injuries after a food-seeking elk circled a picnic table from which their family was eating in the Hualapai Mountains," officials said. "In 2021, an adult female received serious head injuries from an elk that was habituated to humans in Pine.

Can someone edit that second picture with lines showing the year indicators..........interesting...............

This is what I teach my students in wood shop: Synapses connect neurons and help transmit information from one neuron to the next. When a nerve signal reaches the end of the neuron, it cannot simply continue to the next cell. Instead, it must trigger the release of neurotransmitters which can then carry the impulse across the synapse to the next neuron. Once the brain forms a synapse, it can either be strengthened or weakened. This depends on how often the synapse is used. In other words, the process follows the “use it or lose it” principle: Synapses that are more active are strengthened, and synapses that are less active are weakened and ultimately pruned.

Exactly my first thought

Or how about them Cards.............I love this thread cause we just seem to keep getting crappier all the way around but hey........Arizona playing some football...........Go LOBOS vs Mica Mountain this Thursday, we need an upset!!!!

What a bunch of jokesters! ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Northern New Mexico or bust — that seems to be the case for at least one Mexican gray wolf that is intent on wandering beyond the boundaries set for managing the rarest subspecies of gray wolf if North America. Federal and state wildlife managers confirmed Thursday that the endangered female wolf has traveled north of Interstate 40 and beyond a recovery zone that spans parts of southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona. It was documented crossing the interstate west of Albuquerque last week and most recently was tracked to a mountainous area west of Jemez Springs. This marks the second time the wolf — identified as F2754 — has ventured north. It reached the foothills of the Rocky Mountains near Taos, New Mexico, last winter before it was caught and released back into the wild in Arizona.

Out of bounds

Cole sent this to his family looking for ideas! I told him let me send it to my CWT family and see what hunters say! I need the family help on this one. Pull your brains together. I am going to be hosting a clay pigeon shoot for business owners. You have to let me quote your business insurance to get in. 50 clays per person. 2 people teams. Winning team gets 2 Yeti coolers. 1. What do I call it? 2. What do I need to do to better the system. (Make it go smoother, get more people interested etc.) 3. Is a Yeti cooler a good prize?

Is there a way to recover a hunters education ID# to show that the course has been completed?

Thanks everyone

Yeah they probably checking up on me and rightfully so..............

Even if I don’t know what a coues buck looks like 😂😂😂

And check out the hooves!😳

Congratulations, fun times for sure!!!!

😳😳😳beautiful buck!!!

It was on an archery post! I realize there’s always variables but fun to speculate!

I had a covey in getting water at my chicken coop last week and I have never seen quail on my property before!

Guess I shouldn’t be hunting coues then😂😂😂 which I’m not cause I don’t have a tag, and even though I asked the question I would be hunting coues if I had a coues tag🙃! I wondered honestly if I looked hybrid?

I asked for a picture but haven't gotten one yet, I was not on the hunt, just a friend sent me pics of what you see.

Having been involved with coaching, camps, activities, trips and endless hours of time spent trying to help kids, it is sad to see that "blame" has to work its way into the picture. The tragedy is loss of a young life, but does this type of action solve anything? They eye catcher for me was G$F got pulled into this game. https://www.12news.com/amp/article/news/local/valley/family-of-teen-who-drowned-at-show-low-lake-plans-to-sue/75-9eef3d8d-be28-4da4-9d08-199c1ed5ba8d Family of teen who drowned at Show Low Lake during football camp trip plans to sue for $50 million 15-year-old Christopher Hampton was attending football camp when the team was taken to Show Low Lake where he drowned. Author: Haley Williams Published: 10:36 PM MST October 26, 2023 Updated: 10:36 PM MST October 26, 2023 PHOENIX — The family of a 15-year-old who drowned at Show Low Lake while at football camp is planning to sue for $50 million, according to a notice of claim obtained by 12News. Christopher Hampton, a student at Cesar Chavez High School, went missing on the lake on July 17 and his body was found the next day at the bottom of the lake. Lawyers for Hampton's family said in the document that Show Low lake is designated as "non-swimming," and blames several different entities for the tragic death including the school, the school district, the coach and assistant principal, the City of Show Low and Arizona Game & Fish. "Chris' death wasn't just a preventable one, it was caused by the gross negligence of the adults who were responsible of taking care of him," the notice of claim states. "It is difficult to imagine more careless behavior by adults tasked with ensuring the safety of minors, than herding them into a dangerous mountain lake with zero supervision and zero safety measures." The notice said the City of Show Low and Arizona Game & Fish officials are "well aware that large groups of kids go swimming in the lake despite the dangerous conditions."
