Hunter Killed by Elk - Tillamook County
Oregon State Police - 08/30/20
On Saturday, August 29, 2020 Mark David (66) from Hillsboro was archery hunting on private property in the area of Trask Road E in Tillamook, OR. David wounded a 5X5 bull elk but was unable to locate it before dark.
David and the landowner attempted to find the wounded bull on the morning of Sunday, August 30, 2020 at approximately 9:15 A.M., David located the bull and attempted to kill it with his bow. The elk charged David and gored him in the neck with its antlers. The landowner attempted to help David but he sustained fatal injuries and died.
The elk was killed and the meat was donated to the Tillamook County Jail following the investigation.
OSP was assisted by the Tillamook County Sheriff's Office, Tillamook Fire and Rescue and the Tillamook County Medical Examiner.

Tracking a bow kill always sounded like a great place to have a hog leg strapped on if you ask me.
May his family be lifted up and comforted

This is truly a sad deal and a wake up call out to all of us to make darn sure whatever we're after it very dead before we get to close so there isn't another story similar to this about one of us next.
Condolences to the family and friends effected by this tragedy.

I would think following up on a wounded bear with a bow would not be a fun proposition either.
We are told not to judge all Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but are told to judge all gunowners by the actions of a few.

Google bear charges man in Ontario back country.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
