In my opinion he's gone. Even if he buys the land owner another elk, that seems like a pretty easy rule to follow; don't shoot the elk. There is no mistaking an elk for anything. If you said it was a certain 10 pt, I could see some "maybe" making a mistake. But an elk? To allow his guest to shoot the elk (he should have said it is 100% off limits) is disrespectful. In my opinion he needs to kicked off to show the landowner your group will not tolerate rule breaking.

I'm 99.9% certain no one would ask someone to come hunt on their lease that is not a friend.

If he doesn’t know the difference between a deer and an elk he never should been hunting by himself anyway.

If the landowner isn’t involved yet, they should be. Shooting a nubbin buck thinking it’s a doe is one thing. Shooting a animal that was off limits sound like a fast way off a cool sounding lease. Guest that shot the elk should reimburse the landowner of fit, member who brought the guest should be off the lease.

So that means when your wife or kids want to hunt they need to get off their *** and pay for their own spot?

Needs to be fined and terminated. It's not as if he mistook the elk for something else! It was intentional. His guest, his responsibility.
We had a guest by himself shoot a big 9 that was on the no shoot this year. Looks like next year guest must hunt in stand with member.

Lease Issue
Originally posted by AntlerCollector View PostTelling the member to get off is a no brainer and should be the least of his worries. Restitution should be paid. LO and GW needs to be involved immediately to see that restitution is paid.
If the only penalty was getting kicked off the lease for shooting a 7x7 Elk that's not a bad deal.
On a high fence ranch where they are bought and placed there sure.
Restitution paid to a landowner on a free range low fence elk that prob escaped an exotic ranch and is probably just passing through/ roaming anyway? Nope
