Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Elk Hunting Stolen Elk Mount .. $1,000.00 Reward

Probably the cousin of the scum that stole a downed deer from me a few years back... After a 1/2 hour wait, I followed a nice, short blood trail into some cedars... only to find a gutpile and nobody around. It was certainly no trophy like this poor guys mount, but goes to show that people will steal anything. Hope he gets it back.

Just as a matter of interest back in '04 or '05 a friend of mine killed a 340 class 6 x 6 bull on Red Creek west of Cody. His son made a nice photo of the hunter and his trophy. The son buldged a hernia moving the elk around so they left it overnight so the kid could get medical attention in town. Of course all night the hunter worried about grizzleys dining on his bull since he was unable to properly hang it by himself. The next day after riding about three hours horseback back in to fetch the bull sure enough there were tracks all around it. Human tracks, horse tracks, and no bull, just an indentation in the snow. He had an idea who stole it but could never prove a thing. At least he has a great picture.

sob that stoop that low need a hand cut of when caught hope you recover your baby
