You don't think a bunch of toothless hillbillys will take their beat up delapitated trucks out run over deer and elk on purpose do ya :dunno: will they keep track of the ones who get salvage permits? Cause I am betting if you 20 salvage permits something hinky is probably up??
Who y'all callin' a hillbilly?!

Just saw this on Facebook. Was shared to one of the local hunting groups.

Cool thanks for the info man! Just seems odd to me that big bull was in the road usually the elk stay in the tree line or just inside the field I never see them as far out as this and let alone a big bull they are wiser.

Cause I am betting if you 20 salvage permits something hinky is probably up??A couple families back in Wisconsin did just that... I was in a vehicle that had hit a deer and the first vehicle to pull up to us were two brothers in a beater truck with a brush guard. They asked for the deer we hit (seriously mangled up) and told us they trying to find a deer to hit. Family was pretty poor. I think they poached a little when they could. Nobody minded though.

Not to be a dueche waffle but, really, someone is actually gonna pose up with a bull they just creamed with their rig? Sorry but that's a classless act for sure..
Did you read the post he made before assuming things?

Post by: PlateauNDN on July 15, 2016, 11:48:46 PM
Glad they salvaged some meat. I do see this as a way for poachers to abuse the system though I hope it doesn't play out as so.
The potential n for abuse is high in my opinion, especially in an area like packwood.
Post by: 257wbymagkiller on July 16, 2016, 12:26:02 AM
Packwood should sell tags for that with options of
Chevy
Ford
Dodge
They would make a fortune.
I know the guys that salvaged it glad to see there freezer full great people and will give you the shirt off there back in a heart beat.
Post by: j_h_nimrod on July 16, 2016, 06:09:31 AM
Also how many of you have hit an elk? Even with a good brush guard there is likely to be some serious damage that would outweigh the meat gained.
I just don't think it is going to be the issue so many think.
Post by: Duckslayer89 on July 16, 2016, 06:35:30 AM
Is there a charge for those permits?
The state will probably make them a new special draw category. Antlerless, antlered, and quality for the really big ones
Post by: buglebrush on July 16, 2016, 07:22:07 AM
There are other places where salvaging roadkill is legal (Colorado for one) that have herds as good as the Packwood area and I have not heard of the abuse so many worry about. There are a lot more people on the roads to see than in the woods.:yeah:

I agree, not necessarily about Packwood though. Other states seem to have more accountability in that an LEO has to tag it before it can be taken home.

People die hitting animals all the time. There is s memorial in front of my dad's house in Mazama from where someone hit a little doe whitetail. Quite the risk to abuse the system in my opinion.
Probably because they swerved to try to miss it. A pickup with a heavy duty bumper, accelerating straight at a deer, nobodys gonna die. I highly doubt it would be a widespread practice, but I could see it happening, i guess some clown was running over turkeys around here to pick them up. Anyway, i highly doubt anybody would hit an elk on purpose. Maybe deer, but definitely not elk.

Sorry I wasn't referencing your post but an earlier one(took me a few hours before I hit post) about the potential for abuse...
My mom lives in Packwood and taught in Randle so I know it's a dangerous area for collisions.

Maybe but the damage to the vehicle could easily exceed the cost of a license. Even a broken headlight can easily cost over $50.

Idk I was driving by it at 50 and both antlers were kind of next to each other so I couldn't count points! Thought I saw 6 though
Post by: buglebrush on July 16, 2016, 08:27:25 PM
Really ? I can see it maybe be abused by one ore two animals a year. I think that the benefits far out weigh the abuse. Just my opinion.
:yeah: Lot's of worry over nothing IMO. Certainly hasn't been a big problem in North Idaho, and if there is ever an area with possible suspects :hello:
Post by: baker5150 on July 16, 2016, 09:23:54 PM
That's whyeople will use their hillbilly trucks with the big steel bumpers and what not!! Hey I think it's a great law, it sucks to see animals waisting away, but it WILL get abused that I can promise, especially during the blacktail rut!!
This is one of those new laws they actually got right. Abuse? Maybe. There's always a loop hole some knuckle dragger will try take advantage of, but the least we can do is salvage these animals. To think otherwise is a mistake. Too many go wasted, it's about time this state caught up with others and allow honest folk to make the most of a bad situation.

Hit a cow elk on I-90 a few years back just west of Easton. Going 70+ mph in a stock '97 F-250 4x4 (thank goodness!) Over $15k in damage, truck totaled! I was unharmed but if I had been in the yota I used to drive or a sedan....
