I did;nt see it only read it but my 2 cents is Grundy knows elk if he said looked poached I would beleive it was too. As far as brush pickers and fern pickers the game warden told me they haul more stuff oiut in buckets than we do in a truck. They go where they want do what they want and what do you think happens if there caught. ME NO SPEAK ENGLISH. SOLLY
lol this is the exact reason the thread title irritates me so bad. Somebody said it on the internet so it must be true.
Grundy saw it a 1.5 weeks after it died. What do you think animals can do to a carcass in that amount of time? Do you seriously think somebody could tell it was poached without seeing a bullet hole in it after that amount of time?
I'll show you when I get off work tonight exactly what an Elk looks like a week and a half after its been killed and picked at. Found a archery killed cow this year a week and a half after the season, the hunter must have found it to late, he slit around the knee joint, and cut up the leg to check the meat but must have gone bad so it was left. Yes I could tell it was killed by a person that late. Besides, is it really that big of a deal, I think the op did the right thing regardless. Let the proper authorities decide what happened.
