Title: Bulll poached near Easton?
Post by: lablover on September 28, 2010, 06:50:09 PM: Has anyone heard of a bull being poached near Easton? I was told by a very reliable source that a 6x6 was seen in the back of a truck on the morning of 9-6-10. Anyone heard anything about this?

Yup, that should have been their first call if they suspected anything. The WDFW will check if it was legal with some sort of permit, etc. or hang'm up if they were poach'n.

Post by: lablover on September 29, 2010, 08:26:34 PM: I was told it was reported but WDFW didn't respond. The vehicle it was seen is was local, that's why it was suspicious (among other reasons.) just figured I would see if anyone else heard anything.
