jacklighted elk

[billrquimby]

In addition to finding guys camped just about everywhere I wanted to take a couple of friends who had drawn elk tags, we came across something this week that really burns me.

 

We glassed up a fair bull in late afternoon and started to go after it, but decided we'd didn't have enough daylight left. We watched it until dark instead. This was at the end of a dead end road, and when we got back to my truck and left it was pitch dark. We saw absolutely no one in the area, and passed no one heading there.

 

We were back at first light, and were relieved to find no one had beat us to our spot ... or so we thought.

 

The first thing we found was the carcass of a bull elk (probably the one we had been watching) that had been shot during the night by some yahoo driving a quad. He apparently had come in after we left and got out before we returned. He had taken only the antlers, rear quarters, and backstraps. Everything else was left to rot!

thats just wrong, too bad they dont make a pill for that. So it was taken beyond shooting light?

Bill,I hope you reported to the G&F right away,so they can go from camp to camp checking who has succesfully fill their tag and ask to see the carcas and/or meat.There a lots of times when G&F ask individuals where they harvest their game specially in suspiciuos situations,then they go and look in that area just to make sure.

That's totally unaceptable and soon or later that guy will pay for it.

 

About 4 years ago while hunting bull elk in unit 27,I found a dead cow elk,it had a bullet hole right throug both lungs;I walked that particular spot the morning before and there was nothing there so I came up with the conclusion that some body shot it the same day I hunted there but in the evening.There was no cow elk hunt in progress and I do remember hearing shots that day.

The elk was shot in the middle of the night. We left the spot after dark and found the carcass when we returned at first light. We saw no one coming or going on the road to the place. Unfortunately, we were so angry we didn't think to inform a wildlife manager until a couple of days later.

I would be mad too. That jerk is a waste for good oxygen.

Idiots like that make it bad for all us ethical hunters. I would love to have that bozo in a room for a few minutes. Give him a taste of AZ hunter justice abu-graib style.

Abu-graib style does not describe my wishes for that jerk.
