3C Elk Poaching....what a waste!

Recommended Posts

Took the wife and a buddy out hunting for their Mule Deer Hunt last weekend and found where some loser had poached a mature bull elk. The elk had been shot multiple times, horns sawed off and left to rot. Was reported to G&F hotline hopefully those responsible will be held accountable!

Even if the animal was taken legaly the perosn did not take any meat.

I will never condone anything that resembles a poacher or poaching but IF and its a big IF the person could not find a bull for a few days, the meat would be spoiled and nothing to take but some antlers, so it doesn't have to be a poaching incident, but that is unlikely, because the last bull hunt in 3c ended weeks ago.

Wow that's a sad sight and such a waste. If it was poached, I hope they catch the person who did it!

Strange way to remove antlers. I wonder why he didn't saw off the skull plate and leave them attached? That green thing in the ear needs explaining, too.

That might be the guy we ran into during archery hunt up there...arrowed a nice bull on day one and didn't find it until day 4...meat was spoiled so he just cut off the horns. Not entirely fair to call him a poacher
