Just got an email stating that the WDFW caught a few guys on Cowiche Mtn. that had a large bull. 2 were tribal and 3 were non-members. They found that a non-member shot the bull. This happened on Dec 6th. The tribal guys had a permit with them for an elk no near where this bull was shot. I have pics, but can't figure out how to post them. Somebody else surely got this email! They also seized the rig. >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

this made my day

dayum that sucks.
-
CRAP what a waste
-
Ya i to got the email and pictures. The thing is huge. I wish i could meet the guy that poached it and kick him in the d!ck
-
It never ends... >:( >:(

Why do people have to be *censored*s?

:o :o :o
-
These types of threads are painful to read! What a waist of one hell of a bull.
-
what a bunch of assbags, i wish they would lock em up for this crap

such a waste....very sorry to see.... :(

after surviving the hunting season that toad deserves more respect then that. they have a permit and still cant use it right. my question is do the natives lose their rights :bash: naw they will get more permits
-
Wow... Hang 'em high! >:(
-
Im sure that bull had himself a little honey hole where he never got bothered by people and now he was just trying to survive the winter and gets blasted for no reason. >:(
-
WHY...... :bash:
Mulehunter >:(
-
Probably a Master Hunter :bash:
Why?
-
here are a couple more pics i got in my email.
-
Now I'm pissed!!!! >:( I just don't understand why they would do that.... :bash: :bdid: That's my favorite herd too.... :'(
-
incredible bull, too bad.
-
:bash:
Thats a hell of a bull right there! That just pisses me off.
-
:yeah:
-
not suprised at all that some guys finally got caught doing this. Happens every year and a lot.
-
A bunch of you are asking "Why".......Easy....because they are never and will never be held accountable for there actions!
These guys are no different than little Johnie.......all he needs is his ass beat real good and he will learn a lesson!!! :spank_butt:
-
Sounds familiar to the case that some one posted online about the bull that was shot down by Tampico last year or the year before and those lowlifes got off. I wonder if it is the same people?
-
Thats the definition of misery right there. You know, i've honestly stopped reading anything that has to do with Indians anymore because it just pisses me off to no end. Beautiful bull, to bad it had to meet its end to some worthless dirtbags like that.
-
Too bad nice Bull. Hope they get it put to them. >:( What ever happened to the Indians who shot the two Bulls in the feeding station up White Pass years back?
-
Why do people have to be *censored*s?
Those are not people and especially not hunters their scum. Why do these people keep doing this? It's because they don't throw the book at violators like this.
-
Rem and Sky nailed it. No accountability. For the one they got caught they harvested another countless bulls probably. BIG MONEY
-
it would be nice if the tribe stepped up and banned these guys from hunting if they are infact holding tribal permits. perhaps we need to make actions like this a bit more publicly known......to hell with "PC" this is what entitlement gets you.
-
I liv ehere and haven't even seen a damn thing in the paper or on TV. :dunno:
-
Bone somehow that doesn't surprise me. Even here on the wet side the only thing I saw on native american hunting(in the Everett Herald) was so much turned around it was rediculous. Matter of fact I remember you made a comment to the editor about the story. So for some reason the media doesn't want to this.
-
I finally got to see the pics (can't see most forum pics while I am at work..Firewall) and I am sure I have live pics of this bull. CRAP! He was a fave because he was so narrow and yet such a huge bull. His swords especially on the one side were awesome. I've seen that bull for like 3 years. :bash:
-
The problem is that State Authorities have no jursdiction when it comes to the Indians. I live on the southern tip of the Reservation and let me tell you, this goes on all year long down here. More than just poaching happens. THey're a Soveriegn Nation, let them stay in their own Country I say.
-

Hell the tribe isn't gonna step up, why the hell should they. Hell the tribes just figured out how to get Obama to pay them 3 billion dollars, the tribes don't give 2 $hits about what these guys just did, and they never will. It's a damn shame I say that these kind of Indian are even allowed off their reservation without a passport and going through a border patrol. You want sovereign nation, then guess what, your Canada. You need to pass through border patrol to get in and outta your country. God this kinda thing makes me mad. Worst part for me is one of my very best friends and a college room mate is indian back home in Montana, he'd be disgusted by this.
-
Worst thing of all.............................the others (2,5, 11, 20?) that they've gotten away with. :(
-
What a damn waste!!!!
-
Sad!!!!!
>:(
-
Sad! Very upsetting. At least he wont be showed off like it was a legal kill at the Yakima Sportsman's show in a few months. They probably have plenty of other poached elk to bring tho. :(
-
It was a nice looking bull.
-
real classy. burn em at the stake
-
the white guys with them probably gave them a lot of money to go shoot that bull, really sad to see.
-
Come on to be honest if the fines were extreme and the jail sentence long I would assume that some people would stop and think before they shot. I mean come on.... 5 years loss of license and 5000 dollar fine. How pathetic... People like this need to PAY for what they done. I am sick of seeing these flaming piles of :crap: get away with a little :spank_butt:. I really do not know what to say it is F' in :bs:. Sorry for the rant...... I have to go punch a pillow..............
-
last year they caught a land owner on sedge ridge that shot a whopper of a bull (just south of cowiche mtn.) ended up letting him go ! the only thing i hope is that he had a better breeding season than i
-
>:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
-
Nice bull but I don't think it will go 386.
Indians would have ended up killing it anyways.
-

Hey Bone, can we see the live pics?
-

Why would the "white guys" pay the "Indians" to go shoot the bull, Hell they were probably all in on it and just blamed the white guy to screw over the "white man" once again! >:( >:( Shame to see such a nice bull down without it being a legal kill.
-
x2 joe
-
>:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( this is the kind of crap that gives hunters a bad name and ruins it for the rest of us. I sure hope these guys get locked up! Dont screw it up for everyone else!!!!
-
those a..... should do time for that what a waste. they will probably get a fine and there hunting priveleges revoked for a year how about forever. you jerks!!!! >:(
-

Im pretty sure that bull is 386. The reason being is that the game department wouldnt send out an email with a guess of a score. Look at the tine lenght on it. :twocents:
My buddy saw it in the back of the game wardens truck and said it was unbelievable.
Anyways yes folks that is a damn shame that the bull had to die like that
-
A few funny things about this thread. First, I got this email last Wednesay or Thursday, got a little write up and the pics ready to post, then realized that another neverending, "we are getting nowhere with this bitching" thread was going to start. So I stopped, but knew someone else would do it. Second, I may be wrong, but is the 4th page the first page where anyone acknowledged that these nonenrolled members could have been white guys that the Indians were with, not just nonenrolled Indians?
And it does go 386, I'll try to dig up the score sheet. Hope my email didn't delete it already.
-
Good for the gamies...but really BFD....nothing is going to change with Indians shooting animals illegally, rutting, spot lighting, etc. Other then congrats to the arrest the rest is a waste of anger. I will always voice my opinion in meetings and surveys but other then that I give it no more energy.
-
To anyone that still has the email: There's an attatchment/link you can open off the email called "poached bull rough score" or something. It is the score sheet. Please post that so everyone can see the dimensions. 23" daggers, 48" mains if I remember right.
-
Did you all miss the part that said a Non Tribal Member killed the bull. I don't know the full story on this issue so I cant say a whole lot. And the bull that was killed in that area last year by Non Tribal members were let go from what I have herd.
-
Looks pretty acccurate to me. I have the pdf, but don't know how to post it. I suppose I could print it, take a pic or scan it into a jpg. but I have other things to do. I really don't care what race poached the bull, I think whomever involved should be prosecuted and prosecuted equally. I assume the only thing that changes that is I doubt the natives will be held to the same as the non natives. I assume you'd agree thats wrong Yak.
-
Yes bone you know me I agree 100% I think it is a bunch of chit I know stuff like this happens all the time the game told me that the only way to do anything about a situation like this is to catch them in action.
-
chances are I know the people that did this. The white guys if that is what you would call them go up shoot illegal animals and then call there native American friends to haul it home for them. It happens all over the state with deer and elk. I know some guys that do this regularly although I can not prove it but it just so happens that it mostly happens in the cowiche unit/ yakama rez boundary, and yakima firing center. They both need to be equally punished no matter who shot it because they were all involved.
-
what does someone get out of poaching an animal either buck or bull? i like the challenge and if i do bag one at least i can tell my story behind the hunt instead people that might get away with something like this i hope their looking over their shoulder every second in town or in the woods what ass holes!!!!!!
-
I think this thread should just end at this, It doesnt matter what race did the poaching,What i was trying to accomplish by posting the pictures of the bull was to show everyone that we do have big bulls around and here and that poaching does happen and doesnt get posted in the paper or on the news. I didnt want this thread to end up being a bitchin contest between grown men.
-
This is the score sheet.
-
RedDawg, we know the same people then. Real classy individuals. Its really too bad the kid that drew the tag for Hansen's ranch didn't kill this bull. I mean, not to thread jack (not that I care too much on this thread), but has he killed a bull yet does anyone know?
-
I havent heard if they killed any anything on hansens ranch but I did talk to a guy who's kid drew a deer tag if they hunted at all dureing the rut he should have killed a toad
-
They both need to be equally punished no matter who shot it because they were all involved.
:yeah:\
I wish this is how it was. Unfortunately this isn't how the world works. Some people get special rights. And I'm not just talking about the Tribal/Non-Tribal thing. Many "haves" get off for murder (literally) when the "have nots" would have been fried.
It's too bad all involved couldn't get fried for this. But we all know that wont happen. It's unfortunate that those guys caught up there two years ago got off. It is a true shame. Our elk and deer are a limited resource and should be treated as such. The pathetic fines and penalties incurred against poaches is yet again proof that all the WDFW cares about is money and that our elk and deer are nothing more than four legged $$$$.
-
Funny thing is if they were so concerned with their four legged $$$, you'd think they could hammer these guys really hard. I guess its not their fault, its the court systems. Seems like the WDFW did their part in catching the idiots. Someone should tell Gregoire herself that money can be made by catching poachers. She is like a bloodhound when it comes to smelling and collecting money.
-
Yeah that is a good point bone. Where I blame the WDFW is in that they don't and havn't pushed to increase the penalties. Our legislature is dumber than a bag of rocks, they need to be lend by the hand. You are exactly right if the WDFW would take the time to explain just how much money they could make off of convictions with poaching and especially road violations Gregoire would be down on her knees :drool: about all that money.
Of course with Gregoire we all know which group would be exempt from all fines and jail time.
-

Isn't that the frickin truth. Its probably what is keeping her at bay. She is undecided which cookiejar the most cash is in. To heck with doing what is right.
-
Bone think about this. At least you never had to shake her hand or take a picture with her. :puke:
The mere thought of it still haunts me.
-
TERRIBLY saddening. Makes me heartsick.

A couple of issues here.
1. WDFW or any law enforcement agency, does not set the fines for any law violations (from traffic offenses to poaching) the state supreme court sets the minimum fine for each offense. It is then upon the individual county if they want to increase the fine for the offense (they can only increase, not decrease), usually counties just go with the fine set by the supreme court, however some counties do increase penalties for certain offenses
2. WDFW basically sees no money from the tickets they write! Once again this is mandated by the legislature. All funds from WDFW tickets go into the county budget where the ticket was written or to fund the state police academy (which is where WDFW officers get their training). WDFW gets a straight cut from the state Public Safety Enforcement Account which several other agencies also get funding from. But other then that they get no funding from the tickets they write. This would needed to be changed at the legislature and would probably not change since most counties would throw a hissy fit over it.
