Poaching on the Tucannon.
« on: January 16, 2019, 10:14:59 PM »
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Police are looking for information regarding the poaching of five Whitetail does in the vicinity of the Wooten Wildlife Area in Columbia County. After receiving a concerned citizen’s report,  Sergeant Paul Mosman and Officer Ricky Delp found five partially butchered deer at Campground Nine on the Wooten WLA on January 15th. Based on evidence at the scene, it appeared the deer had been shot during the night/early morning of January 14th-15th and then brought to the campground to be butchered, with primarily only the back straps and rear quarters taken. If anyone has any information, please call Sergeant Paul Mosman at 509-710-5707 or Officer Ricky Delp at 509-780-2746. Tips can be given anonymously and may be eligible for a reward.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

obviously not just trying to "feed the family" if all they take are the backstraps and hind quarters. not that it would even matter, poaching is poaching period

Wow! Just Wow!
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Josh mentioned it in the I90 elk crossing thread but it is true here as well.  There are many factors contributing to our declining deer herds.  Stuff like this is a certainly a factor in declining herds.  Poaching is one that we should be able to control with increased enforcement and actually prosecuting people when they get caught doing this.

If they would have taken all the meat they could have only shot two of the five.
