Jesushunt Report post Posted October 3, 2019 The elk was located west of Forest Road 153 near Point and Javelina water catchments. The poacher left the meat to waste. “Someone may have information about this case,” said Arizona Game and Fish Department Wildlife Manager Ken Clay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

muledeerarea33? Report post Posted October 3, 2019 Then why kill it? No meat, no head? Serial killer in the making? They usually go from small animals straight to people! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azbugler Report post Posted October 3, 2019 I’m guessing it was shot at night and not recovered. Then they were too nervous to deal with it during daylight hours or never found it at all. Probably a small caliber (less noise). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
