LAST EDITED ON Nov-18-04 AT 04:53PM (MST)[p]Here's something I found on the Idaho F&G website. The moral of this story is that if you are from Indiana and come out west to hunt (deer, bison or whatever) make sure you pack out your meat and properly take care of the meat you do pack out.



Nonresident hunters waste deer


Six nonresident hunters served jail time in Lemhi County recently for wasting six mule deer bucks harvested in hunting unit 27 which surrounds the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. The hunters were reported to an outfitter at Loon Creek by another party of hunters who were hunting on foot. This group had seen a raft party floating in the vicinity of Loon Creek that had several nice deer heads packed in the rafts. The day before, the party hunting on foot had found the carcass of a deer that was missing the head; the deer was not field dressed. Seeing the deer heads in the rafts made the hunters suspicious and they contacted the outfitter who, in turn, notified Fish and Game.

Conservation Officers contacted the Forest Service to find out if there were any rafting permits on the Middle Fork. No parties had been permitted to float the river. Forest Service staff checked the take-out at the confluence of the Middle Fork and main Salmon River and found an Indiana vehicle. A check of the Fish and Game license system found 5 tag-holders for the late deer hunt, all from Indiana. An additional hunter from Alabama was also with this party.

On Friday, November 5th, officers met the raft group as they exited the Middle Fork. A check of their meat revealed that only 135 pounds of meat had been retrieved from the six deer the hunters had shot. Properly field dressed, these six deer would have yielded at least 360 pounds of edible meat. The hunters admitted to leaving rump meat, backstraps, rib and neck meat in the field. Two of the deer that were killed by members of this group had only the heads removed with the rest of the animal left to waste. In addition, the meat that was harvested had been improperly cared for and was not in good condition for consumption.

By Friday afternoon, Lemhi County Magistrate the Honorable Judge Jerry Meyers had sentenced each hunter with total fines, penalities and court costs of $971 and well as 90 days in jail with five days to be served. In total, these hunters were required to pay $5,826 and spend five days of their vacation in jail. Additionally, the Forest Service issued 18 citations to the group for failure to pay a user fee and get a river permit as well as failing to carry proper sanitation equipment.

Such flagrant waste of game animals is a recurring problem all across Idaho. Thanks to an alert group of hunters and a concerned outfitter, this waste case was brought to light and the guilty parties were held accountable for their irresponsible actions.



P.S. Zim this wasn't meant as a personal attack and I don't have anything against you (besides your opinion about USO). I just thought this would be a good laugh. Best of luck on your hunt.

When I said, "I just thought this would be a good laugh." I was talking about the statement, "The moral of this story is that if you are from Indiana and come out west to hunt (deer, bison or whatever) make sure you pack out your meat and properly take care of the meat you do pack out."
Go read the thread "Buffalo vs Zim" and I think you will get what I'm talking about. Here's a link.

I don't think there is anything comical about the story Idaho F&G wrote about guys wasting meat.

I forgot to mention that Zim is from Indiana that might help you understand the joke better.
 
The only thing I would add to Bobcat's statements is that it wouldn't make any difference if these guys were from Indiana OR Idaho, fry them.

venor, ergo sum (I hunt, therefore I am)
 
I'm with txhunter on this...FRY 'EM ALL...makes me sick...downright inexcusable...
 
One more thing to add, I don't think it is just non-residents that waste animals..There are some of those everywhere you go..
They need to be punished no matter where they come from..

A bad day hunting is better than a Good Day at Work!!
 
Slobs get caught wasting deer meat

antlerrick,

I don't think these guys wasting meat has anything to with them being nonresidents. They wasted the meat because they were lazy. I titled the thread "Nonresident hunters waste deer" because that is the title the F&G used. I should have made the title "Slobs get caught wasting deer meat".

I guess my joke about Zim wasn't that funny becuase it seems like I'm the only one laughing. Maybe huntnphool is right when he said "Strange sense of humor you have".
 
RE: Slobs get caught wasting deer meat

Brian ID, I'm glad you clarified your non-resident statement. I'm an out of state hunter every year, and I never waste any meat. We practically live on deer/elk when we have it. The only thing I waste every year when I head to CO is brain cells at the bar in the evenings! hehe. PC
 
RE: Slobs get caught wasting deer meat

BRIANID, My comment wasn't pertaining to you particulary, but the newspaper article kind of made it sound like it was only non-resident hunters. I was just making a point that these people can be found anywhere. Non-residents in your state may be residents in mine, and if they are wasting the game, hang em up!!! Good post though!!
