Beheaded carcass of locally famous elk found, meat left to rot in Colorado

This is why I am not fond of trophy hunting in itself, when they leave the meat to rot. This guy is a poacher but I have seen carcasses where other hunters have left the meat and took just the trophy.

Pretty small world up around Dinosaur. Hopefully someone drops a dime and this scumbag sees some life-altering consequences.

There isn't anything wrong with someone wanting a large, mature animal.

Poachers are gonna poach; weather for meat, antlers, or fun, doing it the wrong way is wrong.

Trophy hunting isn't shooting an animal and leaving the meat to rot; that is wanton waste.

That doesn't mean that someone who pursues an animal with large antlers should also be villanized when he did it the right way. The way "trophy" has been weaponized isn't helpful, or truthful. Every animal on my wall I've eaten and now continue to enjoy. We all hunt for trophies, defined by our own standards.

There is a difference between Trophy hunting and poaching. That was poaching to the core rite there. Agree with 406LIFE!!
