Post by: whacker1 on October 07, 2010, 04:56:04 PM: could be road kill, but not likely. Game Wardens that I have run into don't make it a habit to pick up all that much road kill, unless they are causing a nuisance, such as: still impeding traffic.

Post by: LarMar14 on October 07, 2010, 05:09:10 PM: I just talked to my dad and an officer from up here in Cle Elum and the game warden was at the police station in town. He said that two muzzeloader hunters found the bull dead in the Peaches Ridge Unit. My dad saw it personally and he said it was a 7x8 that measures 425". He said it was the biggest bull he's seen here. The Warden said it has been dead for a couple days and looks as if it died of natural causes. It had a gash on its face and in the side of its chest like it had gotten hurt in a fight. If i get a pic i'll let ya know more.

When they are in the back of a Game Warden's truck, it's a dead give away.
