[QUOTE="nmbarta, post: 1763339, member: 78438"] We had several trophy bulls killed in the bull mountains this year, I believe they just caught the guy. He had no intentions of taking antlers or meat, just shooting big bulls and leaving. We found a dead bull in the area while antelope hunting a few weeks ago, he had a hole behind the front shoulder and had clearly struggled for a bit before passing (grass and dirt kicked up around his legs) we called fish and game and reported what was found and gave exact gps coordinates. The game warden hiked about three miles to the kill site a d inspected the dead bull. He said it was clear the bull had been killed by another bull and therefore died of natural causes. He removed the antlers (340 ish bull) and packed them out, then called us back to come get the antlers. Because the bull died of natural causes it was legal for us to take the antlers. He was thankful for the report and understood why we suspected poaching. I'm looking forward to the sentencing of the poacher they caught. The regulations value a trophy bull at 6500.00 for restitution. That's not including fines. I hope they make an example out of him that includes some time behind bars. [/QUOTE]
