Gallatin Canyon Wall Tent Homicide

[Brad]

Ed and I spent three consecutive nights sleeping 150 yards from this dead elk that a sow and cub grizzly were feeding on. She was a good bear and didn’t bother us. Even so, we abandoned that spot immediately upon discovering that elk.

Great photos. I like good bears

Did you happen to notice, was that bull a bow-kill that was lost?

Thats horrific. Straight out of a horror movie!

MS 13 and the cartel are a thing in the Big sky area?

I assumed so. I didn’t poke around it stank so bad an the bear had most of the chest and belly covered up.

Cartels are definitely getting a presence. Not sure if it’s MS -13

No. And would add, MS13 is a gang, not a cartel. None of this is really new... the Bloods or Crips (can't remember) tried setting up shop in Belgrade nearly 25 years ago. The cops ran them out on a rail over the course of a year.

Personally I think it best to not dig up memories of an evil predator.

Best to remember there are predators out there, hiding in plain sight.

Nothing strikes more fear in a community than a good old fashion axe murder.

There's a medical term for that

Wllm posted stats a while back that violent crime was actually lower now than in years past. Numbers don't usually lie, but it sure feels like things have gotten worse.

You’re just bitter and jealous lol

Kinda have a feeling if they went thru his phone they will have a good idea who did it.

FBI quietly revised 2022 crime data to show violent offenses rose rather than dropped

In 2021, the bureau appears to have concluded it overcounted violent crime incidents by 55,786 and undercounted them in 2022 by 24,243.

Numbers can be fudged.

Pretty sure those numbers were recently “updated” and it turns out they were false…

Not surprised. Well, surpriser wllm was incorrect about a stat maybe

 

[FREAK]

Guy goes 2 miles up forest service road and sets up wall tent…..

 

[Hawk Tuah]

If the guy was in fact just a normal dude with no crime ties, my guess is he was the victim of a gang initiation.

From what I’m hearing from my law enforcement buddy, they are expecting the gang to move east to wider spaces and less law enforcement. I will be locking the door tonight. I’m not sure it’s safe to camp anywhere.
