Poachers

[rosscrazyelk]

Horrible..

[pods8]

The best or I should say worst part is if the local media picks it up it will say HUNTERS poached these animals instead of Criminals poached these animals.   

No kidding.  Plus WTF is with just taking the antlers and not even the meat?  Not that I'm condoning poaching but its not like regular antlers are like rhino ivory in terms of black market costs or such to illegal shoot an animal just for them alone.

Here are a couple pictures of the one that was right of the side off the road.  The Other two were pretty much the same. They are in Douglas County for whoever it was that asked.  Pretty Sad!!!

Boy does this piss me off.    Total f-ing waste of everything, plus careless attitude about laws. I look forward to the day when a couple of poachers mistakenly raise a gun at me or someone like me....because they arent going to be going home that day.

Tell me about it!  I have been out watching and videoing these bucks all summer.  One was a really nice one, upper 20's and possibly 30 inches wide.  I have no way of knowing if it was him for sure, but it was within about 300 yards of the last place I had seen him the week before. I've been planning on being there opening morning of muzzleloader season all summer.  I'd give anything to have whoever did it get caught.  Keep in mind there was three bucks just like this within a mile of each other.

I'm a mellow guy and don't get mad that often, but that REALLY pisses me off.  Damn that sucks.

Poaching keeps it interesting quit being such Pollyanna's fellas...

Definately not road kill.  The one the pictures are of was shot right up the ass.  It was on a cut off road between two green wheat fields.  The other two were dropped right beside each other about 150 yards off a road, while they were in the field.  My buddy who knew I had been watching them all summer talked to the game warden and he said they were shot with a big rifle.  I don't really know all the details of who found them first or anything, but when you drove up there it was pretty obvious with all the magpies and coyotes.
