That is certainly a rarity, I wonder if anyone else has a trail cam photo of a WA caribou?

The Kalispell Tribe has trail cameras north of the border?

Not saying it is impossible, but they sure imply that the picture was taken in WA

You are really asking for facts to be posted? Seriously? Do you live under a rock????

Go check out Bozeman Chronicle about the several moose poached within the last year or so. The carcasses were left to rot in a ditch. Let's not even get into the debate of how many wolves were poached....So yea, the plenty of poachers.

from one of the comments on there.. really wish i could comment and just say thats not poaching thats management :chuckle:

really cool seeing that ~~short hair elk~~ caribou....

Are they finding any in Washington recently? Do you think this one migrates in and out of WA?

I was wondering if it was up the BC side. Actually very glad it was on that side. Definitely a rare tcam pic.
