I was coming back from the store in ellensburg and pulled out behind a game wardens tuck with a bruiser in the back.. hopefully they throw the book at the poacher who killed him.             >:(I wasnt ale to get close enough to get a pic with my phone..

Deer or elk? That sucks, one less animal for those who drew tags.

How do you tell when they have been poached?

I was kinda wondering the same thing.

most of the elk that ive seen in the back of wardens trucks during hunting season were poached. i would like to be wrong? does anybody else know of anything?

[whacker1]

could be road kill, but not likely.  Game Wardens that I have run into don't make it a habit to pick up all that much road kill, unless they are causing a nuisance, such as: still impeding traffic.

maybe he was hunting

I was just talking to the sales rep for my work and he said that he was coming through there and seen a toyota getting pulled over by a gamey, he had a giant bull in the bed of his truck! this might be the same one if so I would say they got him

 I just talked to my dad and an officer from up here in Cle Elum and the game warden was at the police station in town. He said that two muzzeloader hunters found the bull dead in the Peaches Ridge Unit. My dad saw it personally and he said it was a 7x8 that measures 425". He said it was the biggest bull he's seen here. The Warden said it has been dead for a couple days and looks as if it died of natural causes. It had a gash on its face and in the side of its chest like it had gotten hurt in a fight. If i get a pic i'll let ya know more.

When they are in the back of a Game Warden's truck, it's a dead give away.

told you all the big bulls are in the cascades 

[Elkohol]

thanks for the clarification, at least now i wont have to go around all night being ticked off thinking a poacher got him.
