Apparently someone "accidently" shot it while deer hunting on Saturday, the 12th. Guy approached someone and told him what happened and asked if he would help him hide it. Guy refused, then called game dept. They came out, but shooter was gone and bull was buried under logs, branches and debris. They have a description of the guy, and are hoping to locate him.
They were able to salvage the meat.

I have seen a couple other pictures of the bull posted on Facebook from different angles and it’s an 8

Did the shooter approach the caller from out of nowhere? If he was suspicious enough to call it in, how did he not get the vehicle and license number? :bash::yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah: :yeah:

um, no. If you cant tell the difference between an elk and a deer you should not be hunting, let alone even be in the woods.
So you're telling me I won't be finding any 350" whitetails running around kittitas county? What's even the point of hunting there then?

I know it's not funny that this animal went to waste, I just wanted to give some guys a laugh about how asinine some peoples excuses are after being caught doing something they shouldn't. I cant stand poaching or leaving an animal to waste. It seems like every year I find someone in a scenario like this and its always some BS excuse as to what happened.They did salvage the meat.

Did the shooter approach the caller from out of nowhere? If he was suspicious enough to call it in, how did he not get the vehicle and license number? :bash:Maybe the RP was the shooter :peep: , Not saying it was, just speculating, i mean a guy shoots this bull, flags down some random stranger and asks him to help conceal his crime, so then he has alerted a stranger to what he did? The stranger declines but the shooter still stays around and trys to hide his crime anyway all the while the stranger alerts WDFW but does not stay near or take a pic of the guy etc? :dunno:
RP is the shooter, gets scared of getting caught (after trying to conceal it) and then calls it in to cover his butt??

That's where my mind went also. Something seems off about this story.

Either way poachers suck!
