Seems the archery hunter had this elk on game cam, for months. Archery hunter knew where the elk was coming down and was set up to take the shot. Archery hunter was watching the elk, waiting for the perfect shot, ready to come to full draw, when he heard BOOM and the elk dropped. Archery hunter hunkered down and watched a young man make his way to the elk. Young man got to elk and then called "dad" on his cell. Asked dad to hurry up and get up there to help him get the elk out, before he got caught.
Archery hunter called game warden and explained exactly where they were located. Game warden said, "I'm on the way!"
I also heard that the kid was given an extra charge, or a larger fine, due to the trophy size! Glad he got caught! Hope he AND his dad both get a couple books tossed at them! Being in Pend Oreille County, knowing most of the judges, (actually being on the bad side of a couple in my young past), I'd imagine neither will try something like this again!!

I under stand the legal hunter will most likely get ten points, but in that situation I would rather of had the 6x6 I worked my but off for.

Guy is lucky he kept quiet and called gamey...I dunno if I woulda kept my cool seeing this tool
From what I gather, second hand, he didn't actually keep quiet. After calling the game warden, the archery hunter actually approached the guy and his dad, letting them know that the warden had been called. Unless also armed with a side arm, not so sure I'd have taken that step...lol

If you have facebook you must go to the wdfws page and read the comments under the picture and story of this elk. Sickening to see defense of his actions. I dont care if its family, you cannot defend his actions..
Which facebook page? I've LIKED 2 of their pages but not seen anything on this story yet. I've been watching though. When I search, it seems they actually have several FB pages.

:chuckle: I know right, some of its comical! Says he goes to court Oct. 10th! Guy deserves everything he's got coming to him! Especially if he's a repeat offender like its been mentioned a couple times by others!

The archer who reported him did a service to us all and must have had an unbelievable amount of restraint after seeing that. That would be crushing.
Here's the link to the relevant WDFW Police posting (and comments) about the poaching: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=598039896920291&set=a.278085895582361.68686.220381881352763&type=1&theater (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=598039896920291&set=a.278085895582361.68686.220381881352763&type=1&theater)
By the way, these are the exact words of his wife about the incident (asterisks added):

Then again, if they were really smart they wouldn't be poaching, would they?
