Cost of a cow elk tag $135. Cost of a bullet?  1 to 2 dollars? Cost of gas? For some 100 bucks$ for some 5$ ?  Pounds of meat from a cow elk.. 

Average for us has been about 240# /142 = .56 

That's pretty cheap. 

I personally know of families that have relied on this method. Now of course they are also hunting out thier back yard basically. 

But not every one has to have a 2k rifle set up with laser range finding scopes and a camp trailer that's 20k and quads or side xsides for 25k. And 5k worth of optics .  

If it’s that easy, there’s lots of over the counter elk options

There are otc options in areas where there are lower densities. And those might be a good options for some people. But the attitude of some on this forum to this man's misfortune is a little disheartening.  

And likewise if you have 10s of thousands of dollars in the bank at all times you could just hunt private land in New Mexico etc....

It was an unfortunate unforseen event. I'm sure nothing like that has ever happened to you?

Using your debit card instead of a credit card is not unforeseen. Using a debit card leaves you very unprotected.

I pay for an elk landowner tag every year with credit card reward points.  Would hate to miss out on that.  

Can you message me on where you go, I’m interested in going on one of those hunts but don’t wanna drive 16 hours and not know what’s going on or how something works haha

Just a bit of advice get a credit card with a decent limit and use it only for draws ….ask me how I learned that lesson. Sucks but there is always next year I guess. I have had something like this happen to me not an overdraft but someone got my cc number and started charging  it so the bank auto shut my card down….1 day before the draw and I found out 2 days after g&f tried to charge my card.  luckily it was for javelina so I recovered mentally lol. 

I feel your pain but I’m sure things will work out.

He said bank account in his first post which means debit card, reading comprehension doesn't seem to be your strong suit though
