Title: Another Poached Elk: GMU 460
Post by: Armadillo on December 13, 2011, 08:12:44 AM: Found a cow yesterday in gmu 460 out in stossel creek right at the gate, they took the meat so it wasnt the whole thing. They had killed it the night before.. Damn shame because there aren't a lot of elk in there :bash:

Post by: Armadillo on December 18, 2011, 08:07:05 AM: yeah I reported it, poaching deer also seems to be a big problem in there

Post by: WonkyWapiti on December 19, 2011, 06:07:30 PM: Armadillo is right, Stossel Creek isn't even close to area 4601. 4601 is primarily the valley proper around North Bend. Stossel Creek is way north of that.

Post by: tjthebest on December 21, 2011, 03:42:59 PM: Thats a shame. I heard that there really arent many elk in stossel. This will just hurt that even more.

Post by: Armadillo on December 21, 2011, 06:39:10 PM: yeah I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt so I made sure to check the special permit hunts before reporting what I found.

I havent been called back or anything on it, I suppose that since I dont have any people to turn in, its not priority with them but Im glad to help em keep tally on that stuff so they know how bad it is
