I seen many a deer and elk drown in the KRD Canel over the years, just saying its a death trap for critters,once they fall in the concrete lines ditch its over, just ask the maintenance crews after they drain it in the fall, not very many critters will survive a 300-500 foot drop in a 10x10 irrigation canel and come out the other end alive
Have you seen them shear their skull cap off during the fall?

That's hard to pass as a drowning.

Don't take this as a excuse but is it possible someone gut shot it, couldn't find it because it ran off and dropped into the canal, then it floated away before they saw it, only to be found by someone later that jumped in and cut off the cap?
[/quote very possible.

If it is poaching though, perfect example of unethical.

I just don't get it. Either someone really likes antlers, or they are worth a lot of money.antlers are worth a lot I think. If nothing more jewelry, but think some Chinese medicine can be made by them too.
fricking disgusting.
Just like bear gall bladders are worth tons of money chines medicine stuff. :bash:

Maybe I'm more of on optimist but that was my first thought. I can't see someone poaching an elk with a gut shot just to take the antlers after it falls in the canal. Also after a few days in the water an arrow shot through the guts could look very similar to a bullet wound. I find it funny that so many people immediately jump to negative conclusions I have been wrong plenty bug generally give people the benefit of doubt.

Very possible situation. Only way to answer that would be is it an arrow hole or bullet hole? Not a lot of people able to legally hunt that unit with firearms right now :dunno:

Agreed. Lots of keyboard judges, juries and executioners here.
