So, well turkey hunting this weekend we stumbled upon this bear skeleton, we believe it might have been poached because there were full cattle skeletons and bait barrels in the area around the bear, it looked like the perfect spot to do a bait from if you were to do it!

Sorry, I do not know how to upload the pics, i texted them from my phone to my email, but I don't know how to get them from my email to here, so I will post the url:

alecvg · « **Reply #11 on:** April 07, 2009, 10:35:09 AM »

I know what you mean, it is a little fishy... I don't jnow what I am going to do about it yet, I knew I should have taken coordinates of it, but I know the general area. But really, what will the WDFW do about it?!

Michelle_Nelson · « **Reply #12 on:** April 07, 2009, 10:43:22 AM »

Fish and game will probably do a report and put it on file. Sometimes things like this can come in handy for them. Kinda like little pieces to a puzzle. They may have already know who poached the Bear but not know where the Bear is.

boneaddict · « **Reply #13 on:** April 07, 2009, 10:46:23 AM »

Is it just me but is there multiple spines there? his seems intact but there are more.....

I'd certainly report locale and send pics. Can do it via e-mail. If they are interested they will certainly contact you.

jackelope · « **Reply #14 on:** April 07, 2009, 10:47:01 AM »

if there was bait barrels around, you need to call wdfw.

if they were not bait barrels are you sure someone didn't just dump a skeleton out there after they processed the meat? maybe they did the same with the cattle? i know if you go to the house where we hunt deer out on the back 40 you will find a pile of deer bones and cattle bones all mixed together. it's where we dump our bones for the yotes to feast on and where many cow bones have been dumped for the last umpteen years.

It was over a quater mile from the road, there were two barrels that looked like the bait barrels my dad used back when it used to be legal, and and then the cattle skeletons, it seemed like whoever put the stuff there wanted it succluded... don't know what to do about it, if I was still there, I would call it in, but I live 5 hours away, came home yesterday.

Go to the WDFW site. Find the contact for law enforcement. Give them a detailed description of what you found and send the attached pics. Give them your contact information and tell them if they are interested in following up with it have them contact you. Then be prepared with a description of where it is at. Give them as much as you can.

Ok, I filed a report, hopefully something comes of it...

You would think that they would've kept the skull if that was the case.

jackelope · « **Reply #22 on:** April 07, 2009, 07:47:30 PM »

not if they were not interested in the skull....

ICEMAN · « **Reply #23 on:** April 07, 2009, 08:08:56 PM »

The taco wagon doesnt want the skull.

Also, as the snow melts back, other evidence may become exposed. Criminals lose the strangest things at crime scenes...like drivers licenses, receipts, car keys...

boneaddict · « **Reply #24 on:** April 07, 2009, 08:11:53 PM »

hell, fingerprints on the plastic bags last forever.

alecvg · « **Reply #25 on:** May 09, 2009, 04:27:03 AM »

The warden said it was his bone yard, the bear died shortly aftter coming out of hibernation last year.

BLKBEARKLR · « **Reply #26 on:** May 09, 2009, 04:39:44 AM »

That is a good point. I would forward that info to someone farther up the chain.
