Slob hunter or poached deer?

[woodswalker]

While hunting in the Chewuch unit I find a carcass missing it's head, backstraps,tenderloins and hindquarters.  Shot through the shoulder and gutted, no remaining evidence of sex with the carcass. Called WDFW, I can kinda see their point about no suspects or additional info, but it still pisses me off.  It had not been there for more than 2 hours.

Do you carry out smashed to bits shoulders out with you? The guts?  Sounds like evidence of sex is with the hind quarters.   Two hours? Maybe he will be back to glean the carcass.  Your jumping to alot of conclusions.

Looks like somebody killed a buck and took what they felt like taking.  Not the best practice at all, but at least I give them credit for taking the time to gut it and take the loins. I'm sure more could have Ben salvaged off the hit shoulders and neck, but nothing to complain to wdfw about.

Slob hunter.

I don't get it??     was it on the road or off in the bush.   It looks like a hunter salvaged what he could and packed it out.  it looks like he took the time to gut and cool the meat.  It looks like he skinned the carcass to cool the meat.  I guess the only fault one could find is the front shoulder, but if it was hamburger from the shot then I would not knock the guy for leaving it.  Remember.....not all hunters have the experience or expertise that some of us have, so maybe he was packing what he could or and salvaged what he thought was salvageable. 

Only reason I would consider a slob hunter is if the carcass was left in the middle of the road or campsite. 

Definitely would not have called the warden with the information given.

If the shoulders are bloodshot and trashed theyre not worth your time. Theyre hardly worth the time when theyre not.

I must be a slob hunter too. I see nothing wrong here.

I have to agree with everybody else here. If the front quarters were trashed why pack em out. Looks like everything  here was done right.

[BOWHUNTER45]

Be surprised how many could careless about the meat ...They just want horns  ...I guess I did not study the carcass that good but it does seem to have the choice cuts removed ..So that being said I would say I agree with the rest .

Meanwhile while the wardens were being distracted with this call, real deer were probably being poached elsewhere.  Sometimes I wish people would just put their phones away.

[turkeyfeather]

I'm gonna go with its neither.

The picture is hard to see from that angle, but from what I see there is a wanton waste ticket right there. Lots of salvageable meat on the front.
Maybe the guy was coming back?

Isn't it in the regulations that the WDFW requires only 35 pounds of meat to be taken of a deer?
