mp_moody Report post Posted August 31, 2010 Between finishing college and starting a full time job, I haven't had much time to do any predator calling this year. Late Saturday night, my buddy and I headed up to the Mormon Lake area (I'm guessing 6A is where we were) to do some calling on Sunday. We woke up Sunday to nice weather but some gusty winds that we surely thought would ruin the day. Stand number two produced this guy, who charged in at fifty yards upwind: Stand number three brought two muley does in at a full run! That is a first for me. Nearly had to change my pants when I heard twigs snapping five yards behind me! And a question for you guys: how common is it for elk hunters to cut the antlers off and leave the skull/rest of the body? We found a few skeletons missing only antlers, but I didn't bother to take any pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkhunter Report post Posted August 31, 2010 It is quite common, some hunters rather take the elk's meat and then saw off the base of the skull to take the antlers. This occurs most when a hunter has taken a small bull, no use for the hide. Unit 6A around mormon lake has alot of smaller bulls so it's common to find racks sawed off. The question remains, was the bull taken legally? Poachers also cut antlers off from the base of the skull. Good job on the yote! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
