Washington Griz Poached
« on: August 04, 2009, 09:46:18 PM »
Just saw a blurb on the upcoming channel 5 news that a Washington griz was poached, now I'm going to have to wait up till the 11:00 news is over.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

It was from a couple years back in the Selkirk area, two guys from Moses Lake area. They just finally caught up with them.

hmmmmm....

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I suggest learning a bit more about the case before defending them. 
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Yeah, I agree with the learn more first mentality. We have friends that shot a bear which had torn thru a window screen and began entering the cabin they were in / uplake chelan. They reported the incident to wildlife. Wildlife cited them for poaching. Took many months, lawyers and cash to get it dropped.  :dunno:

I would be curious to learn of the details of this grizzly incident.

The poachers are really bunny huggers trying to take the spotlight off the wolves! It's a conspiracy I tell you!
Shut up and Hunt!

So, is inadvertently shooting a grizzly because you mistakenly thought it was a black bear...poaching?

I am thinking that they thought they shot a blackie, strange color phase, with really really long fur and huge claws.... Heck,they even paraded it around town and were showing it off to others.....then someone smartened them up about it....and they dozed it under to get rid of it..... Sounds like a couple of knuckleheads....not sure I would call this one poaching. Big game violation nonetheless...

Sure has taken them a long time to pursue this.  I have been hearing about the two Warden boys that mistakenly shot a grizzly, hell after 2 years I figured it was just small town gossip and someone made it up.  These boys are going to in a heap of trouble.
I've hunted almost everyday of my life, the rest have been wasted.
