Title: Poached Nanum Bull
Post by: grimace on September 03, 2018, 10:52:19 AM: Worse than wolves! Coming out of Cook Canyon last night near the bottom we came across a bull elk in the ditch, cut in half and missing it's head. >:( This is frustrating on so many levels...

Took a picture, called it in to Fish and Game. Cant seem to get the picture to post.

They caught one guy by sitting on his kill and waiting for him to return for it.

Got to take the whole animal if you get it on a salvage permit.
Poachers.

But why cut it in half?
Title: Re: Poached Nanum Bull
Post by: rivercoug on September 09, 2018, 04:12:38 PM: It happened last Sunday night or early Monday morning. It wasn’t there when I went up but it was Monday morning. It was cut in half with the guts in the ditch. Definitely a bull. There was a piece of bloody black plastic next to it almost like a vehicle hit it but on that corner I have a hard time believing somebody would be going fast enough to hit and kill an elk with a vehicle. Not an once of meat taken. I texted it in to wdfw that day too.

Post by: bowman on September 09, 2018, 07:05:54 PM: I called it on Thursday. I have a picture where you can see what looks like a bullet hole in the shoulder. Another odd thing is the 6 legs at the scene. Any thoughts on that? I'll post the pictures later tonight.
