1st rifle elk season here in Colorado near the Black Canyon lookout a couple hunters shot an elk.
In there infinite wisdom they streched a cable across the highway to try and pull the elk the measily last few yards to the road.
In there hurry to save themselves more time they also did not post anyone to watch the highway to warn any motorists.
As you already guessed a poor guy on a motorcycle came by and was killed (nearly decapitated) when he hit the cable.
(Instead of seeing if the guy was alright they loaded there elk and left the scene)...but were fortunately apprehended later.
This is not BS but a true sad report of what occured this year.
What a sad tragedy.
Another story close to home happend in Paonia Colorado where two younger locals shot and killed two huge bucks on private land.
Luckily the landowner saw the incident and called authorities.
The two young guys heard the responding officers and left there truck with the dead bucks heads in it and fled by foot....They too have since been apprehended.
One of the young poachers was caught last year doing the same thing and obviously has not learned his lesson.
I hope they throw the Sampson law at them and give them jail time.
If your heading out to hunt this year just remember to watch out for idiots like this. Seems they are everywhere.
Best,
Jerry
