Title: Collockum Cow Hunt
Post by: scrapperdude on November 12, 2015, 03:29:53 PM: My partner and I both got our cows at same time, great hunt in the Collockum but too many hunters and too many poachers up there, saw several huge bulls in the game wardens trucks

You could not pay me enough to be up there during rifle season. :yike:

I assume this is a true spike area then? I can understand confiscating guns for the big ones, but a 1x2, that is harsh.

Post by: winshooter88 on November 13, 2015, 03:10:26 PM: Yes, it is a true spike unit. I've heard that several illegal elk were shot during modern season. As for taking the weapons it depends on the circumstances, if they turned themselves in they would most likely get a ticket and lose the elk, if they tried to hide what happened and got caught with or without the elk and the enforcement officers can prove the case, they have the authority to due much more, like weapons and vehicle confiscation. They can actually take whatever they can prove was used in the commission of the crime, including guns, optics vehicles, tents or trailers, knives, pretty much anything. It really depends on how much of an jerk you decide to be towards them.
