3 pronghorn poached outside Goldendale
« on: September 07, 2018, 12:01:57 PM »
Bad news on the pronghorn front....Sounds like 3 pronghorn were poached outside Goldendale last night. Old guy ran into the poacher loading them in his truck, called WSP, got routed to WDFW law enforcement and followed the guy all the way to Toppenish. WDFW caught the guy and arrested him.

I haven’t seen anything media related. I saw this on Facebook and my buddy who is heavily involved in the pronghorn project confirmed it.

For clarification, my pronghorn project buddy also confirmed it was not tribal and was allegedly a Hispanic guy who is not in the country legally.

Nothing will happen to him.
35 miles away a guy shot a 400" bull elk in a spike only unit and he got an award.
This guy will get a drivers license out of the deal.

An illegal alien in this country that had a firearm???

Shocking!

I can't wait until the draconian I-1639 passes so that this sort of illegal behavior could never happen again.  :rolleyes: ;)

You shouldn't jump to conclusions either.The way i'm reading Gringo's post is the tribe making an example of him and him not expecting less than that from the tribe.It's not always negative about tribal,It may be with you but not the whole  tribe.

Good on the ol guy for turning them in and helping catch him. That's got to get him a couple points.

Seriously sucks about losing three animals though. Any idea if they were bucks or does?

Glad to see this was not tribal!  Even more happy to see that it was an illegal turd bag.  I also am not hopeful anything will happen until we all stand up.
