Oregon elk poachers.
« on: November 30, 2016, 02:23:20 AM »
Really sad to see 2 bulls poached, left to waste in Union County. (pic has 1 of the Bulls)

A bull and cow poached, left to waste in Columbia County. (both bull and cow in pic)

This was in the last week.

Friend sent the pics without a link to the story. I'll post a link when I get it. Or someone might Google it before I get a reply. :dunno:

Why would they shoot them and then keep nothing? I don't get some people at all, poachers = hands cut off

Hate to see that

There's an article on northwest sportsmen Facebook page. A man and female were arrested for assistance and the 3rd person, a male is wanted. They think he may of left the state. They also found another set of horns I believe from an animal he poached a few years ago but it's past statue of limitations to charge him fully so they can only charge him with illegal possession of the horns or something like that. Hope he's arrested soon.

So very sad....I hear the poachers are from Elgin. Only a matter of time before the 3rd poacher turns up.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

Tagging. I think I actually have parked and hunted from the exact spot in the last few pictures. Any link to the article as to where besides just the county it occurred?

Update,  they have all three in custody!  Scum of the earth! 

Poaching is bad enough, but leaving the meat is what really pisses me off!!

Hope they rot in jail.
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.
