Michigan Elk

The decision to put down Roger the elk came after reports that the elk had become more aggression during rut season, according to Rogers City Mayor Scott McLellan.

The first round of elk season in Michigan has started, and the state says it will give a financial reward to tipsters who successfully report illegal poaching.

Cheboygan County’s Black River Ranch and Doe Lake were listed among 53 other properties recommended for purchase by the Natural Resources Trust Fund Board.
