This will be a federal (USFWS) case.

Yikes

reminds me of another story on here where a member got nailed and lost his trophy but we haven't heard a word.

Been watching for that one, too.  I heard some details, but they're second hand and I don't know how accurate.  The penalties sounded about right, though, with the monetary fine, loss of equipment, etc.  I tried googling the name and offense, but nothing showed up.

Not one thing posted in this thread is accurate. No elk was shot on the reserve, no one was in cuffs, no clients went to jail etc. The bull that was shot was on private land next to the refuge. It was taken by a 72 year old client with a pistol at 20 yards. The bull took off after being hit. The guide and client waited to go look for the bull for some time, but it got dark quick, so they pulled out. 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. When they went back to contact the refuge manager for permission to access the refuge they were met by authorities because of a jealous local from a situation the day before. The authorities never let them go attempt to recover the bull, and the fate of that animal is unknown. No one was arrested, the bull was perfectly legal. Don't speculate about things guys. Go out and hunt rather than posting about others who pay to play. I hope this helps you guys!

A "jealous local"  now that is laughable.  :chuckle:  So we get local story and then we get the other side, the truth is always in the middle somewhere  :tup:

Well that's good news for the hunter. And shows second hand info is not good.

Well, we don't really know that FordTough's story is correct either now, do we?

He's been a member since nov. 12th 2015 lol.  So to me he signed up to the hunt wa forum based on this particular situation.  Maybe I'm just speculating but it seems odd.  He signs up and had the details to this

I would say that his information is one of two things, either second hand or not fully the truth.  Like I said, the "truth" is somewhere in the middle.
