Elk Poachers...
« on: July 23, 2016, 03:52:24 PM »
PISS ME OFF!!!!!

Up the Colockum today and ran into 2 different spots(1/4 mile apart) where elk have been poached.  :bash:

1st one was a bull and had the antlers cut off...zero meat taken, looked to have been 2-4 days old, vultures and a bear were on it when I first saw it.
2nd one was a quarter mile or so up the road, nothing but a huge pile of dried blood, and some hair on the side of the road.
I also believe there was a 3rd one, saw 5 vultures flying from an area when I came upon it, walked around for awhile looking but didn't find any sign of dead animals  :dunno:

Yes, at 0730ish I reported it to the SP, said they would relay it to WDFW and that they may call me, as of 4pm....no call from WDFW......WTF?

Report the vultures laying in the weeds, I'd bet you might hear from them then.
Pavement, crowds and inaccurate rifles...
Thanks anyway.

I would guess no, at least not the body one. hard to say on the blood spot one.

There is a stretch of area here that this seems to happen in every year, thinking about getting some cheap t-cams to watch a couple spots
