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.

IF this is tribal, what a great story for them to make an example of him.

Not tribal. An alleged illegal Hispanic guy is what I am told...

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.

well seems as if poaching in that neck of the woods seems SOP.... isn't that were they just got through pinching a group for mass poaching over several years?

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: ;)
