If they can prove I ran a stop sign based upon words; they can prove some jerk is wasting animals. --- End quote --- I agree! Esp if they can prove that he knew it was illegal. He had a tag and knew better. Make him notch his tag or fine his butt! |

Good to hear you got your horns back. Also good to hear you consider your season over. While up Grouse hunting, I heard of one guy who hit two elk in one day (both lost). He was hunting with a rep from a very well known bow company, and their attitude seemed to be that of "move on to the next one". I keep going back and forth on what should be done to the kid. Yeah, he is a jerk for not giving you your horns back. Is it illegal to cut a rack off a dead rotting elk? Yes. How many others would have cut them off if found? I think quite a few without using their tag. Perhaps it is a different case since it is during the season vs something like a winter kill. If the meat was still good when the kid found it, then that opens up another set of issues. Irregardless, he should have given them back to you the first time, when you approached him and asked for them. |

Sorry man. But things like this shows people like this that it is o.k. for them to do it. We have rules and laws that we must live by for people to get along in life. I have broken rules and laws. And fortunatly for me i was young and dumb and not stupid enough to get caught, well there was this one time. And one time i did something stupid and got caught i served my restitution. I shot a forest sign when i was 16 and got caught... 24 hours community service and 100 dllar fine, that was 15 years ago, and i learned from that mistake. Obviously this kid knew the rules. He should have learned from this mistake and what he learned was that it is o.k. to waste an animal... |

Oh yeah, i am glad you got your antlers... |

No it's not legal, but if someone wants to take a animal, part or whole, that someone else shot they should have to forfeit their tag and the animal. |
