COWEEMAN RESIDENTS ARE HOT !!!!

[Bob33]

Most gutpiles are consumed within days by predators.  I don't see an issue with leaving them in a location that's not readily visible from a road.

gutpiles their were being left off the sides of the roads and in the middle of the roads ... now its hard to say if it is whitemen or indians  

Or Mexicans, Asians, or black people?

I live in Toutle, so I see a lot of hunters in my area, I know when hunting season comes around and I am talking all user groups I see garbage, bones piles and gut piles left all over the place. The hwy 504/505 camping area was discusting this year. In the toutle unit after the late rifle cow tages there was gut piles all over the place, I was up there in the late archery cow hunt with my Dad and must of counted 20 gut piles in diffrent areas. As hunters we need to do a better job representing us to others, I was sad to see this. Its gets worse ever year.

People are just lazy and the wildlife department gave out way to many tags.  When do the animals ever get a rest. Oh ya i guess in a couple days they will.

[HairTrigger]

. now its hard to say if it is whitemen or indians but either way I think it is disrespectful to all residents and other hunters to practice such activity... This leaves a bad taste in everyone mouth ..He is bringing me the paper home with him so I can read it ..

REALLY YOU HAD TO GO THERE HUH
WELL WE CANNOT HUNT COWS SINCE THE 1ST OF THE YEAR

People are just lazy and the wildlife department gave out way to many tags.  When do the animals ever get a rest. Oh ya i guess in a couple days they will.

After the WDFW reduces the herd, and everyone complains about how tough it is to harvest an animal in this state.
Seems like they pick a different herd every 3 years to reduce, just to make some happy, by giving out cow permits.
 Then everyone complains about the regs...
Why not increase the season to keep the harvest up ?, 
hunters are happy with more days afield, harvest increases, and cows remain in the herd to produce "calf recruitment" and future harvest,
 instead they kill the cows, reduce calf recruitment and herd size, reduce opportunity, and pretend they are helping the herd ?
Oh, ya, people are just lazy, and want to get an elk with minimal effort, or complain that they have to choose a weapon, or only get a few days to hunt, yet rarely get away from a road to leave their gut-piles and carcases on...

The gutpiles dont really bother me.Especially the one in the pics that were shown.Yotes will take care of that in a hurry.Its not like it was on a county rd where a ton of non hunters will see it. I do have a problem with the stacks of bones,rib cages,hides,etc. That are in front of many gates,on the rds,just of county rds.etc.They wont disapear anytime soon so they will be an eyesore for a longtime.The issue around here is terrible too.Just take a spin out Salmon creek and some of the other rds in the area.

I could see an argument being made for bad timing and stressing the herd more but fetuses in the gutpiles?  Who cares?  Two months ago those same fetuses would have been in there, just a lot smaller and harder to find for someone with, apparently, way too much time on their hands.

Technically you are right, but i think there is a difference between the pressure that is given to a pregnant cow in January as opposed to two or three months ago.  Winter time is among us and the fetus's are getting good in size.  The cows need much more rest and forage to sustain themselves and their calfs.  I personally dont believe in these January tags and dont put in for them for that reason.  If the WDFW wants to thin the heard, have these tags in Aug and Sept.  I think all hunting should be done by the end of November, i think you would see healthier elk the less pressure that is put on them.
