Wanna be poachers

[smartazz171]

I just returned from my hunt and wanted to post a picture.  I have had cameras up for months, date stamps were correct.  Just wanted the guys who decided opening day was just to long to wait to know they should really look for trail cams when you are doing illegal things.  This was taken on the 2nd and I have 12 photos  of them.  also save the responses on maybe they were bear hunters, or deer hunters,  they both had very clear bugles around their necks.  I know some will be mad I'm jumping to conclusions on photos, but If I were a fish and game officer and found two guys hiking out the day before the season, with bows and bugles they could/would be nailed for hunting out of season.  so  my conclusion is based off of that.  and don't worry this photo wouldn't cause any sort of arrest, I just want to frustrate and expose people who poach (or attempt to). The only bonus is that they didn't get anything based from the photos I got of them walking back to the truck with all their arrows in the quiver.

guess I might be a would-be poacher according to your viewpoint

While I agree with your assessment that they were most likely elk hunting, before the season opener, I bugled a couple of times, before the season opener, while deer hunting.  I bugled because I've never learned how and wanted to practice, and because I figured it'd help me figure out if any elk were in the area, even though it didn't help at all.  There were elk in the area, I later learned, but they weren't talking at all.

The only difference is, my bugling SUCKED and my bugle was left in my backpack until I was sitting on a stump...lol

Then there's also the whole idea of using cow calls to call in a bear.  This probably isn't the case, considering the visible bugle tubes, but my son swears that his cow calls, through a bugle tube, are more effective than without the tube...

Then you would be taking me to jail too!! Dont assume.  Believe it or not there are good people too... 

We carried the said above calls well before the season! Its called scouting..
By the way fish and game would be told to go to hell! Calling in elk is not against the law!

Hunting deer and scouting for elk at the same time?

[HUNT-HARD]

I don't know that just because they have a bugle tube in a unit that is open to bear hunting and deer hunting makes them poachers. I didn't realize you cant try and locate a herd why scouting a few days before season is poaching. So many want to be internet police on here!!

Often times I will hike into an area before the elk opener (looking for deer/Bear) and bring my bugle to try and locate a bull to hunt on the opener!!

Heck I was practicing my bugling while huckleberry picking, before any hunting seasons were open.  Instead of my bow, I was carrying huckleberry collection bags...lol
