[Old Man Yager]

Go search the poachers house, probably not the 1st time he's done it.

Glad they caught the SOB!

I would think that's part of the plan (standard operating procedure).  I seem to remember someone else on here that had a visit from the wardens and I think they took a peek in their freezer just based off of a facebook picture.

Warden Ludwig is also an avid hunter.

And a heck of a guy. Nice work!

I have no patience for this.  I hope they take everything in his possession at the time of the crime, get's a nice large fine, and some jail time.  When poachers are caught they need to feel some consequences.

My thoughts exactly. Nice work Officer.

My bro-inlaw lives on the north side of 20 where some of the nooksack elk roam, a couple year ago his neighbor had a big bull come running out of the woods and die in his driveway. I don't know if they ever caught the guy but if that bull hadn't of run out like that the guy probably would have gotten away with it.     Things like that are so frustrating!!!!
Im glad they caught this guy, catching poachers is tricky

7 pounds. He killed an elk for 7 pounds of meat. I am going to be sick

Its just sad to think about how much of this crap that goes on and poachers are never caught! Hope they give him what he deserves.

That's what bothers me the most. Some might say the worst offense is that it's out of season but I can't possibly make an excuse for someone who was going to let an upright freezer full of meat go to waste. 

[blindpig]

I wonder what else that guy was up to?    to Ludwig

[returnofsid]

WOW, what a waste of flesh, not only that of the elk but a waste of human flesh, IMO!

I hope the courts don't drop the ball and that this piece of trash receives a stiff enough sentence to "convince" him to make better decisions in the future!

[Johnb317]

Awesome that Ludwig went back and salvaged the meat!   

Hope they throw the book at the poacher.   
    Count 1 - poaching
              2 - waste of meat
              3 - leaving the backstraps and tenderloins.

They get to confiscate his orv and rig too?
