When he got back to camp ( about a mile and a half) there was some guy who pulled up to our camp and unloaded a mulie doe that was supposedly hit by a vehicle. He proceeded to hang and skin the deer in our camp. The thing is there is no deer season in our unit except for 5 special draw permits for 3 pt or better. My buddy drove off to meet us so we could pack out my other buddys elk. After we got the elk out and back to our camp that same guy was still parked in our camp and had his doe hanging in our camp.
We told this guy to get his deer out of our camp because we dont want any issues with wardens or being responsible for a doe. He got all offended and tried to argue with us. The thing is he left this deer hanging and drove off and told us if the wardens stop by just tell them that it was a road kill deer and the guy who claimed it will be back in a little bit. This guy knew the people in the camp from across from us. It just seems weird that a guy would stop at some random camp and hang an out of season deer in a camp that you don't know anyone there.
The worst part is he broke our meat pole so we had to move our elk to another tree to hang it. Have you ever heard of someone who would think this is ok? He seemed like this was perfectly fine. Our party thought this was totally crazy.I don't know anyone who would think this was acceptable. Just wondering what you guys think about this?

Cut his animal down put it in the back of his truck and said "see ya". 3 against 1 what's he gonna do?
The possibilities are endless.
If the guy is acting that weird I wouldn't escalate unless I absolutely had to. Remember, he's on public land.

We ended up doing this. Then he parked his truck in front of our camp and watched us skin and take care of the elk. He said he was waiting for his daughter to finish her hunt. Never saw his daughter. With all the places to wait it just had to be our camp. I was just seeing if other people thought this was weird because it blew our minds.

He didn't want that deer associated with him until he was ready to leave with it = poached.
And given my recent wdfw experience, I'd almost be afraid to call them as to get blamed for it.

That's just plain weird. Salvaging a road kill should mean you take it home immediately and process it, guts and all. I guess if you're camping away from home it's quite the dilemma, but I'm not sure I'd want to pick up a road kill and hang it up in a hunting camp, especially when it's a deer and deer season is closed. Just that is odd but the fact that this guy nonchalantly hung it in your camp without any kind of explanation as to why he would do such a thing, is beyond strange. I would have probably called a game warden and asked him to investigate.As long as you had a salvage permit filed, I would hang it in camp, someone on hear did it this year and posted about in a thread. :tup:

Hey if you want to act like a sheep that's your business. Just because we are camping on public land doesn't mean that I am going to let someone dis-respect me, my hunting partners or my camp!
If you are worried about crazy it just means that you gotta step your crazy up a notch.

👍 would be cutting his deer down and point him to a large tree farther down the road...Cut his animal down put it in the back of his truck and said "see ya". 3 against 1 what's he gonna do?

This is Hunt-WA after all. You gotta hang the guy from the meat pole by his nut sack, reach into his chest and yank out his heart, and show it to him while it's still beating!

Brings up some interesting questions, it's public land where does "your camp" end? If he is acting weird and not dangerous how does the law view that? Do it wrong and you could have someone calling you big momma. :yike:
