Colockum poaching

[howlow]

The branched antler elk they shot was legal but they left it. Luckily the wardens got someone to tag.  We also saw a bull on beacon ridge rd that just the head cut off. Right next to the rd. I was wondering what the dill with that one sad to see it rot in the sun!!!

I saw that bull on beacon ridge road on Sunday. There was a wildlife officer investigating the scene on my way up and when I came back down the head was cut off so I assume he took it for evidence. It was a small bull assuming maybe a 1x2.

Nice buck indeed, although it's a 4x3 and not a 5x4.

There was a lot of 2x1 shot Saturday. This rule is setting up the hunter for failure.  Most of the 2x1 I saw the second point was barely one inch long.  Does anyone know the penelty for the 2x1.   The branch antler that was legal had nice brow tines this was still a legal true spike but the guy thought he shot an illegal elk so he left it.

The article read that the guy who shot the buck had a valid elk tag why would that matter??? its not deer season and it wasn't mistaken for a spike elk?

[LOVEMYLABXS]

I agree totally about shooting a deer and not an elk but this "True Spike deal " is unreal especially for hunters with out scopes you only have seconds to decside if it's  legal or not.  It's a deer not legal plain and simple .....

Send Them back to from where they came!

Have they charged these guys yet?  Just interested to find out where they came from.  Mexico? Russia? Vietnam?  Any guesses?

I heard Southeast Asia in THIS case

That's just wonderful.  Are we offering hunters ed in Hmong now?  Just watch, their lack of language comprehension is going to get them off.  They "didn't know" because WDFW didn't provide the regulations in their native language.  So it will be our fault in the end.  What a crock.

And the BS statement about "not knowing" they couldn't shoot "those elk" really pisses me off.  If you thought what you were doing was right, why would you cover up the carcasses?

Pretty scary that these clowns are in the woods with us.

Rant off.

poachers see all the game, because the scum hunt year round.
