I got that pic sent to me a few days ago. I will ask my buddy if he knows the guy or I it was just a pic being passed around. Great buck. Hope was done right
-
I've got his face in mine if that helps
-
Any details?
-
I had that one...well it was shot well after rifle season in Ferry co as a few bowhunters were pursuing this buck and had pics of it alive. Then it all the sudden was killed and pics surfaced of this guy holding it and has a tribal tag on it..WDFW has stated it was poached...my guess is they are lacking info/evidence to convict

That's the story I've heard... Terribly unfortunate. Sounds like the guy that killed it had his tribal friend tag it. :bash:
-
Sounds about right
-
Ok gotcha that's terrible :bash: :bash:
-
YES, but those tags have numbers and assigned to the individual...WDFW said it was poached if that was the case then the man who tagged it would be in the clear and this wouldnt be a "Poached" case
-
Poached if a non-tribal member kills a deer out of season and has his friend tag it.
-
I asked the guy in that photo today why there are pics circulating social media of him holding a poached buck..he wouldnt anwser and I kept asking..he says " I dont care" :yike: I dunno about you, but I would be clearing things up if there was photos of myself going around like this....all he has done is attack and use slander against everyone instead of explaining or defending himself. A taxi even offered a free mount if he would provide a story and signed statement and field photos..he has declined..what a shock!

I would think if WDFW knew this he would be cited by now
-
Damn that's a nice buck
-
should seen it last year

Hey huntnnw can you post the fb link?

Some "people" don't like to talk when there name is being dragged throug the mud. He has a right not to say anything! So do we bash him for using that right?? I dont know the story but WDFW are crooks and I wouldnt say a word if I was him either...
This wasnt directed at you but a general statement from the quote above..
-

Its a closed group..Wa whitetail
he deleted his post today after trying to retaliate against the taxi..it went south and he ran away :chuckle:
-
Oh ok I gotcha lol...go figure huh!?

oh hes talking, just not in a way thats helping him. Makes him look even worse
-
Id be talking in a second if I was not a tribal member and was pictured holding a known buck shot weeks after the season was over

Funny I thought the same way once.. Boy was I ever wrong! You get a lawyer and shut up , guilty or not..
-
Great buck, too bad it's the topic of controversy and not getting credit it should be.
I dont know the story but WDFW are crooks
Just because you had a bad experience with someone from WDFW does not make them all bad. :twocents:
-
Any attorney or honest law enforcement officer would advise you to never say a word to any type of LE personnel. Even if you have no idea what he is asking you about don't say a word.
-
If this awesome buck was poached beyond a doubt, i hope the individual gets punished to the greatest extent

According to WDFW this isnt a question of poached or not poached they are stating Poached buck

So are they staying away from it because of the tribal tag?
-
Is he a member on here?
-
Not to my knowledge
-
Just wondering if the guy claimed he shot the buck or if he had his pic taken with his tribal friend's buck and everyone thinks he shot it? :dunno:
-
well thatr sucks for the bow hunters chasing him...
-

plausible idea, I think we all have taken photos with friends harvests at some point in our lives 8)

Prior to the photo coming out on facebook the whole town of republic was talking about the buck that this guy shot. The guys brother even told another person face to face that his brother shot this buck and had his buddy put a tribal tag on it. Once it surfaced on facebook the suspected shooter and his brother both got on FB and started bashing everyone for saying stuff. Never once did they say "I didn't shoot this deer" or "I was just posing with my buddy's buck".
There are a couple of guys up there with first hand information on who shot this buck. The problem is they wont say anything and with everyone not talking it makes it hard for WDFW to get to the bottom of it.

do you have pics of it last year?
That is a beautiful buck

They are stating it? well that changes everything! lol, look innocent until proven guilty. if the guy truly is guilty then i hope they can prove it and the judge rules harshley.

Yep. All the time. I still have guys coming up to me occasionally that think I shot misc animals that I did not.

I don't think it is really up to them to state anything without proof. In fact that pisses me off.
-
That's a great buck, too bad about all the controversy surrounding it. If it was shot illegally, too bad for the bowhunters chasing it. :(
If he did, I hope they hit him to the full extent... >:(
-
Alot of potentially great game wardens on here....................

All speculation and hearsay, all irrelevant to the alleged poaching. The short article didn't consist of Jack, if they even remotely had something they would be standing in this guys living room guaranteed. There's a reason why their inquiring and not pushing their way through a door. Curious to see how this turns out. :o
"IF" the guy is in fact guilty of the allegation. He's a real Frikn genius for throwing a buck like that up on FB. Might as well have driven down to the Game Dept and just showed them what he had done and put the cuffs on for them himself.
By the way. What's the statutes of limitation for smoking a 400 class Bull off the reserve? ;)
-
The hole that the guy and his brother dug on FB was pretty deep and damning. That being said it takes more than that to get charges to stick. Anyone with info should speak up.
-
Poaching is a hard crime to prosecute, without hard evidence or a witness to the crime to step up. Sometimes there is only witnesses but without them, this will be a hard case o bring up charges..will be interesting to see how this plays out?
-
It sounds like two guys need to get prosecuted for this if true. Why pass on the tribal member for offering up a tribal tag for it?
-
when the whole town says he shot the buck and was braggin about it..pretty damn good chance its true..everyone knew about it and had spread to Kettle falls.
when humans joke around with comments..theres some truth to it..its way humans are..without flat out saying it ..

Sometimes it actually takes years to completely build a case. I know of a guy here on the west side that was being investigated for poaching. When they finally arrested him they charged him with 38 counts of big game poaching. They levied the largest fines in the history of the state of Washington against him. It took a couple of years to get it done ,they wanted to make sure it would stick.
After all of that the state computers went south, all of the information was somehow misplaced and he got his hunting privileges back. Only to loose them later once again.
If it is true I hope they get this guy and smoke him.
-
I hear gunshots out in the distance while sitting in the stand. Drives me nuts! >:( I makes me want to get out and go looking to see who is shooting and at what. The only problem is that I have limited time to hunt and don't want to miss the opportunity if it arrives at my stand.

should seen it last year

do you have pics of it last year?
