poached kapowsin elk.

[Branden]

Did know coyotes used knives to cut perfectly straight lines around the lower leg just where a person would start skinning. Also when I've seen animals eaton by yotes the yotes generally tear up the bones pretty good. To me this looked like an animal carcass after it had been boned out. Plus I've never seen an animal die of natural causes right in the road like that. I never blamed anyone.You are awful testy. Got something on your conscious?

The first day it was barely eaten on the front left shoulder. The next day it was ate way more down the left side, up the side of the neck, and the guts were ate and pulled out.

How do you know he's talking about the same elk you're talking about? Couldn't there be more than one dead elk in that area?

Gotshot I was not pointing you out. I was pointing out the thread title for one, and the guy blaming the brush pickers. Lets pretend the elk was poached and wasn't a lion kill. He saw brush pickers in the area so he blamed them. No evidence who did it. I was in the area so why not blame me?

You should go back and re-read Grundy's post that you are referring too, that begins with "Not going to point a finger....."

...but I did see brush pickers in the area of an elk that died of natural causes. If he isn't pointing fingers why bring them into it?

Go ahead, keep inserting in your interpretation of others words if it makes you feel better.
"I did see natural things around an un-natural elk kill."  I'm not very good at it, how did I do?

That would be impossible Bobcat.....

Sounds to me like the original post seems to know the difference between a  scavenged road kill and a poached animal. Yotes don't make straight cuts in the hide/muscle as he already mentioned.

Lol you are so right. I am wrong. A poacher poached the cow right in the road, left it there with no bullet holes, then came back and ate it piece by piece. I would love to see the person hungry enough to eat the guts before he ate the backstraps or the hind quarters. 

I love all the keyboard jockeys on this site

I totally agree there could be. Except that on the same road, close to the 1 road, and killed in the exact same time frame? I hardly see any dead animals on logging roads. Let alone two cow elk, same road, same week? To big of a coincidence.

What time did you report it didn't think about it until rereading this thread but I did get stopped by the game warden yesterday and he did quite a bit peeking around in my truck I have no problem with this considering I had nothing to hide but thought it was kinda weird this time of year I don't remember his name but he seemed like a nice guy we b.s. for a bit and he wanted to play with the ar for a second then we bid eachother goodbye

Why mention brushpickers if he wasn't pointing a finger?

Are you a brush picker? If no, then why do you care?

It was today.

Seems as if Branden is digging himself into a hole. All the original thread mentioned was it appeared to be poaching from the way the carcass was left. He was very specific as to why he thought it was killed by a human and from that point, I would draw the same assumption. Now with him mentioning people out there, I see it no different then there being a dead body and the cops saying that there was a group of people in the area around the same time. No blame was cast, just mentioned observations.

[grundy53]

Like I said prior I could be wrong. It's been known to happen. I'm not perfect. To me it looked like the act of man. Maybe it wasn't but like I said I would rather report it and be wrong then not report it and have it be an actual poaching case. Sorry to offend you by saying brush pickers were in the vacinity of a dead elk. Strange place for an elk to die though...

There ya go grundy....trying to do the right thing and report what you believe to be a questionable dead animal....probably based on experience and the attempt to use good judgement.

Guess your only mistake was not checking in with Branden and making sure it was ok with him?
