This is a very unique monster of a bull. I'm sure that most of you have seen it at the sportsmans show or seen pictures of it.
Post by: Timberstalker on August 07, 2016, 08:22:15 AM
Hope he finds it soon, unharmed.

What does a guy do at Hunting camp?? Lock the meat and horns in his damn RV when he goes back to the field to hunt?
I won't say what should happen to these rotten thieves when caught.
Post by: JDHasty on August 07, 2016, 01:30:22 PM
The saddest part about the whole thing is that we shouldn't have to worry about leaving anything unattended. Not saying it was a smart move to leave these horns out, but it's time to start getting things righted. People need to be scared about getting caught.

I had a buddy who caught a couple guys backing an El Camino under his meat pole @about 2 am. He held them at the muzzle of an ought six for a couple hours until the law got there. Told them not to even twitch or he was going to ought six the both of them

What's ironic is I've been thinking lately of how I should probably be stashing antlers in the brush and deboning everything instead of letting it hang in Idaho for this exact reason. Unfortunate we even have to worry about itwe have never had an issue in Idaho, my hunting partner leaves his wallet on the dash of his unlocked truck all week, I think it's stupid but nothing has ever happened to us. I do put our elk heads out of sight when we leave camp for a bit, I truly hope this guy gets his head back.

If it is anything like it was twenty years ago he's lucky they didn't take the tires and wheels off his truck while they were at it. We never would stop and have a beer there after shooting trap Tuesday evenings @ Black Diamond because everybody we knew of who left a shotgun in their car while it was parked in that lot had it stolen.

Or perhaps whomever returned them only "found' them there, either way a happy ending to the story.

I personally know the gentleman who found the stolen rack. He's as honest as they come. He spotted the rack in some blackberry bushes near the Enumclaw fairgrounds about three weeks ago while on his usual dog walking route. He didn't think about taking the rack at the time because he assumed it was something that had been poached and someone had stashed it. After seeing it sitting in the same spot for three weeks he decided to take it home. His son took pictures of the rack and sent them to a few friends in the area who immediately recognized it as the one that had been stolen. Contact was made with the rack owners brother who then came to retrieve it. The finder deserves a ton of credit for what he did and as far as I know he hasn't received a call from the owner of the rack nor has he received a reward that was offered. Hopefully he gets some token of appreciation especially considering that he could have sold that rack for a pretty penny to someone outside the area.That is amazing, same spot for three weeks. Not doubting the story at all just saying that is crazy. Good on your friend for doing the right thing. I hope he gets an atta boy from the owner.
Tell him I think he is a solid dude all day long.

Hmmmm.
Not sure this passes the smell test.
I have never walked past a horn on the ground that I would not pick up, given it was legal. If I was concerned and saw a rack like that in blackberry bushes I am picking it up and calling fish and game. If nobody claims it, I hope they give it to me.
That's just me though.
Why sell it outside of the area if he didn't know it was stolen?

That's great that he found it and returned it. He should be happy knowing that his good deed lets this guy rest easy knowing he has his trophy back. A reward would be icing on the cake, but the good has already been done.

I would think he would've just called fish and game.
Post by: Rainier10 on September 08, 2016, 04:34:35 PM
Given a choice I am sure he would rather have them back with a stranger than fiction story than not have them back and know for a fact that someone made knife handles out of them.

Hard to say what really happened. I will say the way that "story" was told, it sure brings up more than a few questions. Almost seems as though someone let the cat out of the bag by showing pictures off, and then some story fabrication had to take place.
There is no questions or any concerns he tried calling fish and game numerous times he said. There was no story fabrication or anything of that sort. The person who found it is a good honest person who iv known along time and know his kids really well. Maybe you should believe what was posted and just go with what was said which is the truth. As far as questions what's your questions we can probably all get together so you can ask the finder and ask the real owner of the horns... I'm sure that can be arranged if you would like. Other then that I THINK THIS THREAD IS OVER AND CAN BE DELETED...

I just think it's a little suspicious. That's all. Your internet tough guy bs isn't going to work with me. Yelling at the end isn't going to make this go away any faster either. Lol
