Bull Elk Poached

Most have learned to live with them; I know we have

One of the biggest set of elk antlers I’ve ever seen was left with the carcass. Only the backstraps were removed. Yotes had eaten most of the rump area. And I’ve seen some big elk on this creek. No joke.

Wow............ I've found a couple, guides have found many, and never a single one with head in tact. Like I said, "in my experience".

 

[mudhole crossing]

And to be honest, the guides in my area are more aggravation than the elk themselves

Not knocking guides as a whole either. Some piss poor guides in my neighborhood

Many are only guides in name. They just there to make a quick, easy buck.

Exactly. U know I’m not talking about LMO. But the guides on my creek will do everything under the sun to get a kill. I can’t stand the POSs.

And that BS is the reason I never entered my son to elk hunt locally where we live. I wanted him to have a positive experience across the board. Let me get drawn and get the opportunity to elk hunt. They not going to run me off.

I know, and I know who you're talking about......... And.... some of the "guides" don't really care if they get a kill. Get a few hunters, collect the money, sit them on a stump........

You don't think LMO are there to make a quick buck? My buddy will prove otherwise

I sense he had a bad experience?

Nothing is guaranteed. But If I was going to go with a guide it would be LMO. U evidently ain’t seen a shitty guide service 😂

 

[Chimpy]

I have no interest in firing shots, just saying what I know. I doubt very many of these guide services respect the elk the way they should, and listening to my buddy's experience with LMO just strengthens my opinion. But there isn't much anyone can do about it, so let em run the elk resource into the ground til it's gone I suppose. I doubt anyone pictures the state of Ky when elk hunting is brought up anyway.

Good bull killed in Martin County a few years ago and they left the head but took the back straps.

Them antlers are tuff! Backstraps are pretty good tho'.

Food prices keep going up, those wild horses out that way may start showing up with their back straps missing. Horse will fill a freezer quick.
