You are getting flamed, you are jumping to conclusions, you are ASSuming an aweful lot.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

Lol, I knew I would get strong reactions, I just think they (dfwl) would have you dead to rights if you were bugling while hunting armed with your bow.  Call me out if you want,  I just don't think its right.  I'm not saying bugling isn't ok or calling to elk while scouting,  but it's either one or the other.  You can't be carrying around the weapon about to be in season, while calling for elk before the season, do you really think that would be ok in the game laws???  Im not saying they aren't good people but they are not legal. sometimes it is a mistake, but opening season dates? no.   RTSPRING not just scouting, hunting. the only thing they didn't do was release an arrow.  I hunted the whole season with elk calls and my bow and didn't release my arrow, does that mean i wasn't hunting?  If I had a bear tag but no elk tag and got checked, would I get a ticket?   YES..... I may be wrong, Which I'm sure someone will correct me.  I respect all your opinions thats why I posted it.

If you all don't agree, then I believe we need to have this conversion on what is legal/ moral. lets talk.

Let's put it this way,  If I'm wrong, I'll be the first to apologize , but You could also say If they weren't doing anything wrong then I might be saving them or someone else a ticket by bringing the subject up.

I've known some folks on the Queets to locate and stay with an elk herd DAYS before the opener.

I guess I would be a would-be poacher because I carry a rifle with me a day or two before deer season opens. Good story for a wana-be inter-net cop.

This should be taken down it is not right I believe to post pictures of people you don't know and accuse them of poaching> I personaly have no idea who these two are and don't care. Many people have bugeled before and after season and they are not poachers just locating elk like you are with your camera maybe your poacher

So if you are so sure it is illegal please show in the regs where it states that you can call to an animal when the season is closed. Plus I guess I was poaching this year when I was bear hunting because I used a cow call to try and call in a bear.

I went to the gas station the other day with a sidearm on my hip - guess I'm a "would-be-robber" too.

Nothing like scouting, just like you were going to hunt.. I just have a hard time judging someone when no PROOF is there..  Its hearsay at best! Yes there are poachers but facts are facts. 

Good debate though
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

You would not get a ticket cause unless you release an arrow you have not broken any laws. You should apologize cause your wrong.

If that is the case, I apologize and removed the photo.  But does anyone else believe in what I believe?  I said that I am the first to stand up for what I said and believe, including when I'm wrong.... any one else have an opinion?

Aren't forums great  :chuckle:


This is the kind of stuff that occupies a big portion of WDFW Police time, responding to junk like this then when you get something 'real' they are off messing with this crap.

Was there a good chance they were poaching? Yes, I would say there is. But at that point you had no proof of anything and we are innocent until proven guilty. Posting a pic like that and saying what you did is an anti tactic. And we as sportsman CANNOT play those games against each other.
