No it's sad.

Sorry I wasn't referencing your post but an earlier one(took me a few hours before I hit post) about the potential for abuse...
My mom lives in Packwood and taught in Randle so I know it's a dangerous area for collisions.

Glad they salvaged some meat. I do see this as a way for poachers to abuse the system though I hope it doesn't play out as so.

The potential n for abuse is high in my opinion, especially in an area like packwood.

Maybe but the damage to the vehicle could easily exceed the cost of a license. Even a broken headlight can easily cost over $50.

Any poacher worth his buckshot mudders knows a 243 she'll is way cheaper than a new 2200 dollar yota.

That's whyeople will use their hillbilly trucks with the big steel bumpers and what not!! Hey I think it's a great law, it sucks to see animals waisting away, but it WILL get abused that I can promise, especially during the blacktail rut!!

[gotshot]

Really ? I can see it maybe be abused by one ore two animals a year. I think that the benefits far out weigh the abuse. Just my opinion.

Doesnt look like a 6pt to me

Idk I was driving by it at 50 and both antlers were kind of next to each other so I couldn't count points! Thought I saw 6 though

     Lot's of worry over nothing IMO.  Certainly hasn't been a big problem in North Idaho, and if there is ever an area with possible suspects

This is one of those new laws they actually got right.  Abuse?  Maybe. There's always a loop hole some knuckle dragger will try take advantage of, but the least we can do is salvage these animals.  To think otherwise is a mistake.  Too many go wasted, it's about time this state caught up with others and allow honest folk to make the most of a bad situation.

You really think said hillbillies needed this law to "salvage" all those B&C blacktails they were running down with their hillbilly trucks?

Eastern count.

That building does not  look familiar,  guess I need to go for a drive.

You don't think a bunch of toothless hillbillys will take their beat up delapitated trucks out run over deer and elk on purpose do ya will they keep track of the ones who get salvage permits? Cause I am betting if you 20 salvage permits something hinky is probably up??

I'll probly be getting 20 permits this winter on my drive to work....I saw atleast that many last winter....except it will be obvious  I didn't hit them with my truck

[Ghost Hunter]

Got $6000 in repair and rental on our Forester that hit a deer.  I'll be buying a beef before I try to hit a deer or elk.

There are other places where salvaging roadkill is legal (Colorado for one) that have herds as good as the Packwood area and I have not heard of the abuse so many worry about.  There are a lot more people on the roads to see than in the woods.

Also how many of you have hit an elk?  Even with a good brush guard there is likely to be some serious damage that would outweigh the meat gained.

I just don't think it is going to be the issue so many think.

Hit a cow elk on I-90 a few years back just west of Easton. Going 70+ mph in a stock '97 F-250 4x4 (thank goodness!) Over $15k in damage, truck totaled! I was unharmed but if I had been in the yota I used to drive or a sedan....
