A good place to start is with your local Texas State Game Warden. That would my choice of who I contact first.WTR wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2019 2:15 pmThe Elk is essintially “ branded” with his ear tags. You shoot it and are caught you get arrested. You just need to report the animal and the authorities are obligated to pick it up. The owner will be held responsible for any associated cost . Talk to a Sheriff before you give advise. ThanksArchery1 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2019 2:05 pm Your question is more is it ethical. But, then, how would one herd it back to the landowner. Otherwise, game and wild animals are not livestock. They belong to the public domain, regulated for taking by state and federal regulations. We are not in merry old England.

I agree. In my way of thinking, a tagged elk(or any animal for that matter) is akin to a brand on a cow or horse. It claims ownership. I would leave it be.
