Hunter facing charges after death of beloved elk named Bullwinkle

[DaveMonti]

How many people on this thread harvested an elk last year. I'm thinking most of you guys are just internet jockey s who like hunters to get black eyes in media. My question is for JD and tennawayslayer and davemonti when's the last time you guys shot an elk?

Wow, this thread really took off again.  I even got called out by WA Patriot.  I'm not sure why I got called out though. 

WAPat, I've not made any judgement on any of these threads about TR, the whole incident, the "ethics" behind the incident, absolutely nothing condemning or excusing TR or anyone involved.  All I've done is comment about the absurdity of both sides on this topic, with participants debating the same points OVER and OVER and OVER, and no side of the argument making one bit of difference to the judicial process that I hope will actually be engaged.  Absurdity in the declaration of "truth" from both sides about the matter, when no "truth" can actually be proven beyond hearsay on this forum.  Yes, I'm guilty of calling the response to this topic Absurd. 

Now, I did make comments about the Bigfoot thread, so maybe you're knickers are in a knot because of what I have to say about that, but to call me out as though I'm directly opposed to your view on this matter, and as though harvesting or not harvesting an elk on my part is somehow relevant to your perceived argument against me?  I suggest you go back and read my comments.  I doubt you'll find anything on one "side" or the other.  Except, of course, the Bigfoot thread, and if you're mad about that, I hope you find peace some day. 

Perhaps you just mistook me for someone who actually cares enough about this to argue with you about it.  Certainly it was not me.

  it's a pet folks. Now let's take the drive and determination this thread brought out and apply it to something meaningful, such as the idaho incident or something else of meaning.   just sayin'

Hey......    I care.

And Davemonti, you are clearly only here to cause trouble.
All you want to do is pick a fight.    That is obvious.
 
How else would you possibly defend criticizing the Big Foot thread?!?!?!?!?

All this nonsense over a dead pet is one thing, but attacking the Big Foot thread.......better interweb posters than you have lost that gambit.

Here Kiti Kiti,
Here Kiti Kiti Kiti, where are you???
Seems that HW has lost our Kiti. 
Maybe his 257 backfired and went boom
 

I would like to throw some money in the "Kiti" and wager that this will all be very "clear" real soon! 

 You internet "elk less" jockeys need to hold on to your city slicker panties and let justice prevail! What is wrong with you anyway?  Why, you couldn't shoot a tame elk in a farmers field and move it to another legal unit if your life depended on it! 

You Losers

two years ago with my peaches tag. I have had a cow tag for the past three seasons and have chose to help other people on there hunts instead of harvesting an elk myself. I have a buddy who has one of the most desired rut tags in the state in the state this year. So I will eat another cow tag  Not that I owe you an explanation. But there it is.

So you only actually hunt elk when you draw bull/quality tag. Explains why you are so jealous of TR. also I think TR s lawyer needs to look into see if any of the landowners in 334 have bull nuisance tags. I know one guy who gets 5 bull tags a year.

 

I would be very surprised if he gets 5 bull tags a year. I know stranger things have happened. But Ive only ever seen depredation permits given out for cows.

Not defending anyone just thinking defense angle:

"We were after this specific trophy that we had been scouting but when we got up to the area it turns out the animal had moved across the canal and I was afraid he was outside the area we had researched and knew to be legal.   Not expecting to hunt in any nearby areas we didn't bring a copy of the game regs with us so we called the game department to get the quickest answer on whether it was legal with our tag to shoot where he had gone.  The Game Dept. guy had to look it up and called back in 15 minutes and said it was legal.  We then went and harvested this legal elk."   How penalized should we be for the States mistake ?

This could be the story...... or the defense...... ?  How will the Judge or Jury choose?

Pretty sure it was shot the day after the phone call. That defense will not fly.

It was good enough for a pre-trial dismissal offer and no jail time...  He does not admit fault, pays some $, and in a year he is hunting again with no title 77 conviction.

Dan-O, I hope you find peace one day as well.

Thanks Plat, I stay out of "Off Topics", but I do now know what incident you were referring to.
