Even if it was an archery kill it is still against the law to leave the rest and only take the head.
So it is illegal one way, (closed season or wasting a game animal), or the other.

Just cause I'm curious what about the kill made it poaching ? Was it shot off private property ? Archery is in season so unless they were using a gun I'm lost on this one

No hunting is allowed at all in Ocean Shores with the exception of two specific areas where bird hunting is allowed.  Also, residents in the area of the poaching, reported hearing gunshots late at night.

The one shot on the golf course had just the head taken. Greens keeper was there till dark and no dead deer. Next morning there is a carcass on the green with no head. Kind of suspicious at that point

Bizarre!  Weird! 

I can't imagine any poacher cutting the head off the deer in the dark/semi-dark in a wide open area - musta been dark and done without artificial light.  Wouldn't you drag the thing into the bushes to take off the head?  Sounds more like the Mafia "sending a message" to the greens keeper.
