Warden,
This past weekend my family and I were setting up a trail camera for my hunt the first of september. Well my sons come up on a skull of an elk and the horns we cut off..you could see about 3/4" or 1" left on the skull and saws marks on the stubs.
Know my questions...
1) The skull was probably last years (pure white and no meat or read left on the bones)...does this need to be reported...is it worth reporting. We were about 2.5 miles from the nearest road. You cannot drive to the area...it's a good hour and half walk due to the terrain.
2) If I reported it what is the probablity of someone actually going out there to investigate it.
3) It could have been a elk that died from wounds/wolfs/old age and someone came up on the skull and just cut the horns or it could have been poached.
Me and my family were discussing it and I always wonder what to do and if it was worth doing it.
Thanks for your time and answers,
The Platoon
