Looks weird though, I know it's a "Dodge" but should t there be some damage?That's what I was thinking. It almost looks staged the way the blood is on the fender and a cut to the neck of the elk.

I have no inside scoop but some of you are jumping right to poaching?
How can you possibly tell from a pic?
And if it was mortally wounded and ran 100 yards it a field, so what?
I hope if this is a legit roadkill that those who accused him are man enough to apologize.

I've seen bulls shot through both lungs run much further than that before stopping.

I was joking, Dan-O. I guess I apologize for my bad sense of humor. God, I can't wait until hunting season starts.

You get to keep the head on roadkill? Or have to turn that over when getting salvage permit? Too bad to see this happen. Really hope the driver is ok.
My understanding is that you keep the entire animal

Was hit on 169 right passed Foley's produce stand heading towards Renton.

The traffic report on the news this morning talked about delays due to a vehicle/elk collision in Maple Valley.
It can't possibly be with all the poaching conspiracies!!

A Vue? He's lucky to have walked away.
The car that was hit was a Saturn Vue. This guy just stopped to help. I was told the meat was taken to the food bank. No poaching or anything suspect. Prayers to the injured driver.

He's at least injured. Not sure he did walk away.

:yeah: if the HW investigators already gave their findings then it's as such. No other common sense, facts or evidence can change otherwise.

Either way, hope it wasn't one of the big uns that hangs around by us. That'd be a shame....
Crazier hits have happened. Buddy totaled a new F 250 4x4 with a white tail doe back in WI a while back. Seems impossible until you hear the story. He was following behind a little car at highway speeds. Car tags the deer and boots it up in the air like a field goal kick. Deer comes falling out of the sky and lands on his windshield/roof. Was enough damage to the top of the cab to total the truck.

The other side of the truck was destroyed .. went by it this morning ..But I thought a Saturn Vue hit it? :dunno: I'm not jumping to the conclusion of accusing somebody of poaching, and I really hope all involved are ok, but all the stories and this picture are sure weird.

Yes, there are some monster bulls between there and the shed

The elk was salvaged by my cousin not taken to the food bank, it was loaded into his pickup by a self loader log truck! I'll try and get a better picture of it later because that picture does the bull no justice.

That blood was from his antlers (which were still in velvet and growing). He had just been hit by a Saturn VUE near SR 169 south of Maple Valley. He was then shot by a WSP Trooper while my buddy, a KCSO deputy, watched. I have seen pictures, which my buddy took a metric ton of them (the elk was a 9x10) and have seen the incident report (KCSO didn't draw a case as this was a WSP collision).
This was real and the blood was also real and not photoshopped.

I don't know enough about antler growth, but the roadkill bull has a big cheater point coming off his left G1, and no drop-tines. Are we all talking about the same animal?
Post by: GUscottie on August 11, 2017, 07:30:56 AM
Do drop tines and irregular points come and go with different years on the same animal??

All of the locals say this was the same bull. I just know this bull that was killed was a main frame 9x9 with that big cheater (inline)
