Bull got poached in the Falls River unit.
« on: October 02, 2010, 03:05:04 PM »
My buddies watched a guy at first light who was down in a clear cut(didn't know they were there) i guess he kept shooting off caps with his muzzle loader. no actual loads just caps. then they saw the dead bull as he walked up to it. they decided to go ask him how he killed a bull with out firing a shot. when they got down there the guy fled. they called WDFW who sent out a warden. the warden checked the tempreture of the bull and said it was killed around 2 or 3 this morning buy a modern rifle. anyways he let an older local guy tag it so the meat didn't get wasted. still pisses me off  >:(. and the guy got away for now. :bash: :bash:

So you're saying that the WDFW game warden let someone tag a poached Elk?  Doesn't sound right to me???  They wont even let you tag a road kill elk.  Something fishy there if you ask me.  Just my  :twocents:

Sounds like a good warden to me. He actually cares about wildlife if he let someone take it home that will put it to good use.

  I agree. This isn't the first time I've heard of this happening either. This isn't the first time I've heard of a warden allowing someone to use thier tag on an illegally taken animal. I think it's a rather fine thing to do...the animal at least doesn't go to waste.

When I was a senior in HS, I was working the local gas station on an afternoon of opening weekend deer season.  Our town drunk came rolling into town with a 5 point bull (whole but gutted) in the back of his pickup.  He claimed to have found it laying in a meadow but we all knew he shot it.  He was drunk as a skunk.  He pulled the pickup into the gas station for everyone to see the thing, and he hobbled home to continue his drunk fest.  It didn't take long before the ODFW warden drove up to investigate.  By then, my buddy and I had gone to work skinning the elk so it wouldn't go to waste.  ODFW told us to continue, and allowed us to hang the meat at the local deputy's house.  They actually gave some of the elk to our school for the lunch program.  Those were the days back then, with home cooked meals to die for.  We ate very well after that.  The guy was convicted of killing it, and lost his hunting privileges for 5 years, and paid a 5k fine (back in 1977, that was a huge fine). 
Nothing witty here.... move along.

The meat should go to an organization, not an individual.
One can imagine a warden can pocket a few hundred bucks on an animal. 8)
