TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) - A former employee of a Twin Falls elk ranch has been accused of stealing elk semen and artificially inseminating elk at another ranch.
The Times-News reports that 30-year-old Brandon Eldredge was arraigned Friday on one count of grand theft.
Police say Eldredge stole the semen in 2011 and it was discovered the following year when owners of Early Morning Elk Ranch took inventory.
Eldredge was previously accused of stealing and selling antlers from Early Morning Elk Ranch. Those charges were dismissed.
According to court documents, the owners of Early Morning Elk Ranch say Eldredge used their elk bull semen to inseminate elk cows at another farm. The other elk ranch paid Eldredge for artificially inseminating their elk cows.
The other ranch says they paid Eldredge $3,000 for the semen.

Sounds like he's in a sticky situation.

Idaho man charged with stealing elk semen receives sentencing
.
TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) - A former employee of a Twin Falls elk ranch has been accused of stealing elk semen and artificially inseminating elk at another ranch has been sentenced.
Judge Dick Hardington was quoted as saying "Mr. Eldredge has committed one of the biggest bone headed things this court has ever seen". As previously reported Eldredge has previous convictions related to the illegal trade of animal parts and products. Surprisingly, his reference at another elk ranch named Early Morning Wood Ranch checked out and we were never suspicious said Richard Handy, a previous employer.
Officers were following up on a pretty big tip provided by a good Samaritan and were able to track Mr. Eldgedge and his semem smuggling activities. One officer was willing to speak to us off the record. He told the AP that the balls are now in the hands of the court but overall he is pleased with the length of the sentence handed down.
Here's to another law breaker doing hard time.

The proof is in the...
never mind :o
-
He sure is in a load of trouble.
-
Some guys are willing to get their hands dirty to make a buck......or a bull.......um errr a cow?

If the love don't fit, you must acquit.

That's nuts!
-
That guy has balls!
-
I guess you don't want to pull that sort of thing in Idaho.
-
Come on.....
-
At least he has a way to make friends if he goes to prison.
-
Ok ok....all joking aside.....this didn't happen in WA so more than likely he will be prosecuted.....
To the bitter end.
-
I bet he is wishing for a stroke of luck about now.
-
that sucks for him
ha
-
That story had a happy ending.

I guess 'batin' is illegal in ID.

Sorry, I guess that was a bit over the line with my last post. Lord, I apologize to you and all the little pygmies of New Guinea.
I wonder if the investigating officers instituted the rock, paper, scissors method to see who had to take the fingerprints at the scene of the crime?
-
What a jerk...
Now that Playboy got rid of pictures, what do elk look at?
-
Anybody want some elk jerky?

The thread that keeps on giving. That guy's lucky he didn't put an eye out.

Snack sticks?

Sorry to keep breaking up the puns but I'm sitting here imagining what nasty work it must be to extricate or even be around a bunch of stinking, rutting farm bulls.
It's cool when you're smelling that when hunting but when you're clocking in and just finishing up a morning cup of coffee...bleh
-
I've seen some Idahoans that smelled worse than a rutted up bull...
Wonder what he blew his wad... of cash on?

Let's not jump to conclusions boys. Remember that whole due process of the law thing? Perhaps the accused thought he was merely taking some tiny little containers of coffee creamer? :chuckle:

Well, if that's his defense and if I were the judge, I know what I'd do. "OK, I'd like you to try some of that creamer in the cup of coffee the baliff just sat on the table in front of you mister"...... 8)

Oh, this is too much!! :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: There are so many "that's what she said" opportunities here!
-
Rumor has it, before working at the elk ranch in Idaho he worked at a horse ranch in Enumclaw. ;)
-
That's one bull who doesn't mind just being a piece of meat. :yike:
-
*dead* :lol4:

This young man obviously fell on hard times. I don't think we can be too calice for a young man taking an opurtunity into his own hands. Just a few strokes of bad luck can potentially lead anyone of us into a sticky situation. Heck, he may have done this just to get a rise out of someone. We may never know exactly why this fella decided to choke his own dreams but I'm sure if he does do hard time, it will be a tough one to swallow.
Sad deal for sure
-
Just another miscreant milking the prison system....
-
Oh damn, i found this thread too late!! I think every relevant pun and innuendo has been taken!!
Something, something..... elk weiner
-
I sure something will pop up, or rise in your mind. :chuckle:
-
When I see men do this sort of thing, it really makes me wonder.
-
wanna know whats extra hilarious driving to my doc appointment after reading this thread, I saw the Select Sires truck in the roundy at Conway, I giggled to myself.
-
a different take on shooting an elk
-
No bullelktile disfunction there....
-
Im sure the courts will just blow this off :dunno:
-
Uh...this thread gets harder and harder to read.

Different strokes, for different folks.
-
Hang in there, it will soon blow over.
-
Uh...this thread gets harder and harder to read.
I think it reached its climax a few posts back, everybody will pull out soon.
-
It's getting late....this thread is spent! Time for sleepy time.

You'll just end up dreaming about sawing on the big one. :chuckle:
-
Hey now, no joke, not 5 minutes ago my son came downstairs and said I had a big saw. Yeah, so what that it is in the hallway, not in the garage, what's it to you. My son said i have a big saw.
-

not sure the courts will let this one slide through
-
I guess he took it literally when somebody said"hey Brandon go whack a big one!". And be sure and take pics! :o

Funny, real good.

Wapiti wapiti wapiti wapiti wapiti wapiti wapiti wapiti wapiti wapiti wapiti wapiti...

Well that's different.
Not that it matters, but I like my coffee black.
-
Anyone else notice the judges name and find it kind of fitting? Dick Hardington..really? :chuckle: :chuckle: I just can't "see men" doing something like this.
-
I'm sure he took a hard look at the evidence before passing on the stiff fines.
-
I hear the guys at the prison are brushing up on their elk calling.
-

I believe he was trying to make a calf..... :chuckle:
-
This may seem innocuous, but there is something going on that is hard to grasp.
-
Wonder if he has a grip on the severity of this?
-
This thread is long lasting
-
Did he have another hand in the job or did he do it by himself?

In four hours, time to go to the vet.

These elk farms must have rigid protocols...
-
I bet when handling the containers you would want to make sure the lid is fully torqued...
-
Elk sperm rustling is a crooked thing to do. Hopefully he will get a lengthy sentence and not another slap on the wrist. I can't imagine what was going through his head. How desperately this trophy hunter desired massive bone that he would risk his vision for the record book. He had a chance to artificially father a would-be record book canned hunt bull in a DuPont devils three way. Too bad he blew it.
-
This has really been tugging at me.

I wonder if the inventory was stored in his dongle?

So, this is not what they meant when they said hard time for hard crime?

This guy is a collection ex-spert.
-
I bet the drive away from the scene was white knuckle ride.
-
He probably choked when they found him guilty. Do you know what they do to these kind of guys in prison? Let it suffice to say the Big Bubba plays the rutting bull.
-
and he will become a Hoochie Mamma.
-
He'll be blowing on a single reed while reaching around for his bugle tube.
-
Kind of gives a hole new meaning to EZ estrus! :yike:
-
Probably wont do jail time, just a good spanking
-
never actually heard of anyone taking the spank to the bank.
-
This thread sure has stamina.
-
If you can't refrain from posting in this thread for up to 4 hours best to see a doctor.
-
The guy's nickname is Spunky.
-
He better get a hold of this situation before it gets out of (his) hand.

Those bulls are going to miss him.
I heard they chipped in for his bail.

Looks like it finally petered out.
-
Jeez Curly, you brought it back up for another round.
-
He certainly had a hand in it.
-
It was wore out. I was just pointing out it seemed to be drained.
-
I was certain this thread had climaxed, but there seems to be continued vigor.
-
It's only fitting that this guy receive condomnation and be offered a strict diet of water, banana, and cumquat.

It's hard to go on like this.
