So, is there an easy way to tell the difference between a Rocky Mountain and a Roosevelt? Or is it just geographic location? I was always told that all the elk up here were Rocky
Yikesreminds me of another story on here where a member got nailed and lost his trophy but we haven't heard a word.
What has happened there is a made up version called the cascade Rosie and for the blacktail
Little known fact: It's a bigger federal penalty to illegally take fish/wildlife on a National Wildlife Refuge then it is to do so in a National Park...

Did the whole thread get taken down?
I think you guys may be reading into my message wrong. Not insulting anyone, just simply stating the facts. The guy shoots a 357 round that he custom loads. The cartridge is about 3 inches long. He has a 100yd and 200yd gun. He's extremely accurate at both yardages. There's video of the shot, the animal going down twice, and then turning and going towards the refuge but through a timber patch that has no fence or signage behind it to mark the property line. The guy who blocked the road the day before was acting like a fool telling some old guy he wasn't going to move because he was watching some elk, but it was a county road and he had no right to do that. The old guy is a friend of the land owner and want too happy. The guy had the outfitter info in the window of his truck, so he took it upon himself to call the authorities and tell them what he thought was going on. Like I said, from there, it was all by the books, minus the slip up on crossing the unmarked line. The bull was shot well within the private proprty. The feds wouldn't look at the video and didn't care about the recovery of the animal, and unfortunately the local authorities didn't have much to do with it since they were trumped in the situation. No permission was being given to go try and recover the bull. It has been in the past, but not this time! I really hope this helps people out. Regardless of past issues or your personal take on the outfitter, this is far from what everyone speculated. As for the question, who am I? I'm a nobody. I'm just the guy with the facts, about this incedent, who loves killing elk and deer with his bow. Don't forget guys, innocent until proven guilty!
FordTough,in his post describing what he says happened he says that the hunter was shooting a 357 pistol with cartridges about 3 inches long, even the 357 Maximum cartridge is only 2 inches long, so to be 3 inches long it would have to be a one off wildcat loading and a custom pistol. Seems odd to me.
The next morning the outfitter owner and guide went to recover the bull and briefly hit an unmarked portion of the refuge in their sweep of the area.
