The worst part is the RMEF members and WDFW employees have been stealing them for years in front of everyone else.Dont go to the easy spots get out in the woods and find them.Also on another note how many dead elk are you finding I've seen 33 so far this year.Some with hoof rot and some without all having the same wearing cough laying on t.here sides kicking themslfs to death.I find it quit disturbing that no one shows up to any of the meetings ask WTF why are we still dealing with this.Even more disturbing is the lack of yearlings at this rate there will be no elk left.
I figure hoof rot went from 10% last year to 20% this year on the mudflow , if it behaves like it did in the stella & Ryderwood & margret.....it will keep doubling....i bet two years and those elk will be gone
I stopped shed hunting this year cuz I was tired of seeing dead and almost dead elk
I wish the people in Seattle could see a half dead bull getting it's leg chewed on by a yote and birds pecking it's eyes out...maybe then they'd care but i doubt it
