Trespassed and caught on Carnation Farms property and allegedly killed a cow elk. Caught on security cams at 3am with night vision gear.

Pretty brazen poachers.  I’m glad that they caught them.  Hopefully, there will actually be some charges filed.

Looks like one man is carrying a tripod. I wonder if they were filming this.

Charges will be filed by the end of the month.

Why not release the names?

aren't they presumed innocent until convicted in a court of law?

Giving the name doesn't mean they're guilty.

Everyone knows who the suspect in the recent assassination is, but he hasn't been tried yet either.

I’m assuming this won’t go down that rabbit hole, but this thread has nothing to do with Charlie Kirk or the politics around that topic. Let’s keep it that way.

My guess is, you won’t need a jury in this case, trespassing, hunting at night, killed a cow, and caught on camera and in person.  Lol, I could prosecute this case! Guessing they’ll plead guilty.

Poaching a carnation farm elk in the valley here is a mortal sin in and of itself.

Can only seize what was used in the crime. Driving a vehicle to a location is not enough. Shooting from the vehicle would be a different story.
