Last summer my buddy calls me at work and says
hey I just shot a six by six with my bow. I said, say what?
being that it was july and no where near hunting season.
He said this bull had been hit by a train going into a corn field of his dads. It had broken it's back legs and was stumbling around when he ran into it. He got the game and fish on the phone and told them of the situation and asked if he should put the animal down. They told him to go ahead so being that it was in town and next to the highway he got his bow and put the elk down. I was just about done at work so I told him I'll be there in a minute. I got there and took a look at the elk it was a nice looking six by. He told me they called him back and told him not to touch it till the warden got there. So we waited and waited close to three hours before a warden showed. We thought this was B.S. there going to let the meat go to waste. My buddy put up a lean tube with a tarp to keep the sun off, but it was still pretty hot.
The warden got there and took a look at the elk and where
it had been hit. My buddy asks if he can keep the rack and the meat. Warden says sorry can't do that. Buddy asks are you going to take the meat? Warden says no. Buddy says come on your just going to let it lay? Warden says thats all I can do. So warden pulls out a saw wacks the head off and loads it in his truck. My buddy asks what are you going to do with that rack? Warden says it will be auctioned off to raise money. My buddy says well I want to buy it so let me know when this auction is. The warden then drove off down the road and waited for us to leave. We had taken photos of the elk before the warden got there and we took photos after he left. Looking at this elk laying there to rot with his head wacked off I thought what's the difference between him and a poacher the sceen looks the same. We were petty mad, not that we didn't get the meat but that it was just left to rot. Like Jeff Foxworthy says "this is the most expensive meat in the world" (speaking of game meat)how can you let it go to waste. Also the game and fish later called my friend back and told him oh man sorry I forgot to call you that rack was auctioned at the big game exbo. He said gee thanks for the call.
