There is big money in sheds.   16 - 18 dollars per pound a good thick shed will put some good cash in your pocket.

Oh so now all of a sudden all the elk die when they see people walking nearby? You people are a joke and the reason our country is turning into a giant prison camp. It's a shame the way people lick the boots of their master that robs them daily and then turns the funds into new restrictions.   I do wonder how elk ever made it this far in time, considering the closed areas have only been around for a decade or two.  It's about controlling humans, not elk.   You guys sound like a bunch of slaves. Seriously.
 Wildlife harassment laws could deal with anyone pressuring elk and still leave PUBLIC LANDS open for coyote hunters, hikers and nature lovers who are the PUBLIC.

Ok. Whatever.

Ya I've been trying to explain this to everyone. THE SAME PEOPLE who call for smaller government in threads are calling for more enforcement and regulations in other threads. Make up your minds which side your on




it's very discouraging  to see so many grown men submit and grovel at the hand of a bunch of CROOKS. And to buy into their BS propaganda .   "It's for the safety of the...... _______ ". 

Fill in the blank

Rut
Hunting season
Winter
At that point they're lucky to have survived. Throw in a feed lot, a massive concentration of elk with $16-18 a pound brown gold stuck to their heads that's about to fall on the ground. Throw in a bunch of greedy pukes on snow machines and quads running them all over the countryside hoping to knock the horns off their heads. If you think it doesn't happen you're blind. Throw in some native hunters hunting them almost year round. They need a break at some point. If you think it's about government control, you're blind and/or you  have no care for the animals and no care for the future of hunting. Don't blame it on government control. Blame it on the greed of the people who won't leave the animals alone to recover from winter and rut and hunting seasons and snow machines and native hunters.

Exactly MADMAX.

What's your beef with Eyes in the Woods, Duck89? DFW putting on volunteer classes so those in the woods can notice wrong doings and and better educated on how to report them. :dunno: One of the brightest ideas they've had in quite a while if you ask me. They admit they lack in enforcement and are happily asking for fellow hunters and outdoors people to help them out. Also, if you think you can receive bonus points for turning illegal fence jumpers in, then I've probably wasted my time typing this.

There's to many do gooders out trying to tell everyone else what they are doing wrong. Our opinions differ in lack of enforcement. I see game wardens up in the area I like to mountain bike ride/shed hunt about every other time I'm up there. Stop you for no reason whatsoever and puff their chests out. Only to be disappointed that I have a CWP, seatbelt on, headlights on, and rifle unloaded. So of course they feel they have to remind me 10x not to let my extremely well behaved lab run elk because they can't find anything else. Ok ok ok I say have a nice day thanks for ruining my relaxing afternoon. In Idaho where I've hunted all around the Church, 10a and 10, I've never even seen a game warden or been stopped. Last time I was stopped in WA, I was literally driving along some remote logging road listening to music and the game warden was parked in the middle of the road sitting there doing nothing.

Part of the training for eyes in the woods stresses not telling someone they are wrong, but to let LE handle it.

I would be willing to bet LE has a reason for being in that area so frequently...

Besides I love getting checked and watching the wind go out of there sails....

I don't know about you but on a remote logging road i would be a little bowed up and on guard making stops knowing that if there is someone breaking the law they may try to eliminate me as a witness.

Hope you get plenty of opportunities to enjoy you tunes and time in the woods.

Wow, this dam guy is smart, smartest "dam" guy on this website I'll bet. Do you really think in all your superior knowledge that just letting everyone run over the hill's in area's like Oak Creek would result in a favorable outcome for all those wintering elk? REALLY!? It's strictly about controlling people? I'm quite certain that without these area's being around doing what they do you probably wouldn't even have the opportunity to see an elk first hand. They would have been gone long ago. Educate yourself...

Adjusted it for you as natives are not the only ones out killing.  I agree, this would cause a lot of issues especially who decides criteria. :dunno:

This is no different than some one going into a unit to hunt deer that doesn't open until a later date and killing one before everyone else that follows the law gets the chance.

I agree with the hunting early comparison/comment with the exception that I feel shed hunting early in closed areas has a bigger impact due to time of year (animal's current health/strength) and has the ability to affect more animals (Herded up or located in smaller area due to snow/feeding).

Like I said, there are other laws on the books to deal with people pressuring elk. I live right next door to some of these closed areas and they are foot access only year round.

On another note, I saw a nice bull today with both antlers still while out biking around and also one with about 12 inches of fresh velvet. Saw 4 deer I swear was a bachelor group of bucks they were all huge bodied with flat heads and no yearling fawns around like almost all the doe I have seen have. Maybe they haven't began growing antlers yet??

Yes, it's different. Poaching deer, and "poaching" antlers are two completely different things. Don't get me wrong: I don't support either.
