Wanted to talk about an incident that happened to me last year. I had permission to hunt private property near the town of Randle. At this time I was the only one that had permission. Opening weekend of Muzzy season I am watching a herd of elk with a legal bull. They were feeding in my direction. They were about 200 yards from me. As they got to about 100 yards a shot rang out and the elk scattered. I leave my spot and see 2 people standing on the driveway. I confronted them to tell them they are trespassing and I leave to call it in. They leave. There was no local warden on duty so I talked with a local sheriff and He took the info and started the report. The next morning I am back on the property hunting and the Dad of these 2 trespassers shows up and is driving around the property interfering with my hunt and harassing me. I called this in and nothing. This is where I got pissed and disappointed with the enforcement. I got a call back and could not get anyone to come out. They forwarded this on to the local Game Warden. I took time out of work and met the warden down there and it turns out he is friends with this family, small town, and did nothing but make excuses for all their actions. He did everything He could to justify not bringing any charges. There is supposed to be an oath that these so called officers are supposed to uphold and this guy did not Honor it. I lost a lot of respect for the enforcement division. These trespassers/ poachers and their Dad are the owners of Ash Construction in Randle. Thanks Rant over.
