Exactly, I think 257 is hitting the sauce tonight. What's funny is he doesn't realize the more threads he starts that exposes Reicherts true "hunting" morals, or lack there of, the more likely people doing Google, Yahoo or Bing searches of Todd, the worse it makes him look. :chuckle:
Keep it up 257, with friends like you, he won't need enemies. You just keep "helping him right along" :chuckle:

I would think an experienced hunter like Tod Reichert would know how to read and understand the hunting regulations. Not only that, but he had at least one local hunting with him, and that guy would have, or should have known, that unit 334 did not have any open season for branch antlered bulls, and therefore was not open for hunting with his raffle elk tag.
Since you know him, can you ask him to come on here and explain what happened?

How can the WDFW give permission to do something that's illegal? Why would someone even ask if they could hunt in a unit that is not open?

One "local" came on here defending Reichert. This "local" is an outfitter in Kittitas County and offers guiding and consulting for Washington's specialty hunting draws.
If he was helping he should have known the rules.

Why would someone even ask if they could hunt in a unit that is not open?This is not the first time this has happened,the other time was on the West side (totally different person and time). The process is in place where you notify the WDFW where you will be hunting. There are several included in the notification chain. How the criteria can be overlooked by all at the wdfw? (More than once ) Your guess is as good as mine. Given the process and that it was followed, the fault lies with the department not the hunter. Either good or bad, real cases are not tried in the court of Huntwa.

Reichert is not new to hunting, he should know how to read the regulations himself. Its absolutely not a good excuse to say he was told he could hunt in that unit. I don't even believe he WAS told that, but just saying if he was, it's not a legitimate excuse.
If I called the WDFW and happened to get a hold of an employee who didn't know anything about elk hunting seasons, and I was told that I could hunt elk in March, could I go out today and shoot a bull and expect to get away with it? If not, how is that different than what you're saying happened in Tod Reichert's case?

You can get a good look at several of his trophies in his mill office on Kangas rd. Out of Toledo. It's impressive. His Saddle mtn bull is my favorite one there

You know, even if it's true that Reichert had some WDFW employee tell him he could hunt in a closed unit, personally I don't believe that is enough to allow him to poach a trophy bull elk in some farmer's back yard.Bob,

How many people are on the email chain when the department is informed of one of the raffle tags? I know it's not a simple "okay sounds good sir". If someone needs to come on here and clear the air maybe it should be Nate or Mick, not Reichert.

:yeah: His recent actions do bring that into question. There is reason to be skeptical. What we have seen in the Blue Mountain event (a deliberate and systematic skirting of, or outright breaking of laws that lead to multiple charges of violation of State and federal laws) which resulted (after much legal wrangling) in a guilty plea. Most people would make every effort extra vigilant (as most of us just do as a matter of course simply because we have our reputation at stake).
But what does Todd Reichert do? He takes a high visibility trophy bull well within an Area that is unambiguously defined in the game regs as not legal to take ANY branched antler bull in. Then he and his accomplices claim that he "notified the WDFW that he would be hunting in that Area." He had every right to hunt in that Area legally for elk, but not for a branched antler bull (which is explicitly and unambiguously spelled out in the same Game Regs that the Raffle Tag he bought tickets for is published in). It is not any business of WDFW if some "friend of elk" wants to support elk management and habitat by buying a Raffle Tag and is just fine taking a cow or TRUE spike. If it is WDFW's business, what makes that so? For the love of God man, the State does not have any business telling him that he cannot use that tag in any legal way he likes. He doesn't have any more investment in the Tag he won the Raffle with than does someone's grandmother who bought a single chance in that Raffle and would be perfectly fine with a freezer full of meat. Does he? No he does not and it matters not if he bought no losing Raffle chances of ten thousand and one and ten thousand were losers (which, by definition they would have to be).
Boom, gone, done. I have just laid out in one paragraph why this supposed phone call is not admissible as evidence, or even warrants consideration as a mitigating factor upon sentencing, in this case.
So what does that leave on the table as a tenable defense? Not a thing that I can come up with that trumps the two pages I have PDFs of in the referenced thread above.
He is as stuck as a bug on fly paper and justice in this case cries out for prosecution.
