Sickening waste

At a Christmas party I was at the other night, a few of us local hunters were reminising about the deer hunt. We all tagged out nice bucks, but then 3 of the boys told us how many dead, wasted bucks they had come across. One guy alone saw 6, all in the middle of fields or along bushline. It really looks like, and we all drew the same confusion, that there were hunters out there that did not like the size of the racks on thier kill and left them. What an awful waste. I admit that when I walked up to my buck after I shot him, I was surprised that his rack was way smaller than I thought, but, he is cut up and ready for sausage, I eat what I kill, no waste. It sickens me that we have guys in this area that would do such a thing. '

2 years ago a group of hunters from Quebec got nailed hard by the CO's for shooting way over the tag limit, I think they had something like 6 nice bucks that were shot without tags. 12 or 13 grand in fines later, they were sent home. This year we had a group from mainitoba doing the same damn thing.

This part of Sask is world renowned for huge WT bucks, alot of outfitters make their years worth of cash just on the WT hunt. If folks keep killing and wasting as they have, we might find ourselves going the way of the buffalo.

I had to get this of my mind and into words. Does anyone else have a problem like this in their province?
 
Hunters who would leave their game are not hunters, When I shoot a deer, I will put in any effort to find it no matter the size.

Honestly, These guys should have their firearm licence removed so they can't hunt anymore.

Like its been said, when there's no more deer nobody will be allowed to hunt them because of a bunch of dickheads.
 
Used to see caribou on the side of the road with the tongues cut out, hind quarters cut off and the t-loins cut out. You think it was licensed hunters wasting their tags on that? I can't see it.

Yes, we have it down in the southern part of the province too, out of 4 days huntung I found 2 dead bucks they were decent bucks too. I have a good idea who was doing it too. There is a farm that some city folks (from Regina) own down here, they come down and shoot what ever moves, and this includes jumping in the back of there truck too and shooting from that, I havent seen them actually shooting from the back, but have seen them jump in the back, drive behind a bush and then hear a gun shot a few moments after. I know another guy has seen the same thing same truck, smae peaple.
 
The Dryden area has been overrun with trophy hunters in the last year since a North American record buck was taken (unfortunately after hours) (& is on display at the MNR i believe), I understand the local outfitters are getting big US bucks from these hunters & in turn are leasing all the choice spots from local farmers for their clients (the Dryden area is full of large deer), freezing out the locals from the choice spots. And I understand :eek: that several bucks that didn't quite measure up to trophy standards have been mysteriously found dead in the area.

...............biggest problem here in Alberta is the allowance of Metis people killing game twelve months of the year. It will and has been leading to waste. I also unfortunatley know too many white skinned red haired Newfoundlanders with Metis cards.:mad:

Here we go!

........................Three weeks ago i came a cross a real big bodied deer with the head cut off and everything left. This was north of Edson in 346. Disgusting.:mad:
 
I am equally disgusted, i saw a young mulie buck, shot through the chest dead on the side of the road in the area we hunted, either someone was dissappointed by the rack(small) or thought it was a doe.
 
So who says or for that matter blames it on the metis?
Is this where the finger is to initially point? Thats a far fetched assumption if not a non-diversisfied accusation is it not?
So then to my understanding,all if not.NO,non-treaty hunters,would or have done this type of hunting?Thats a broad assumption.

...................actually what is lame is how easy it is to get your card which gives you full right to go out and hammer as much game as you want. Pretty much any french canadian can get one.



.........heres a good one for ya. My aunts husband just got his card. The funny thing is his brother is Denis Ducharme who is one of the MLA's on the task force/board doing a study on this debacle. Denis has twelve brothers and sisters now no doubt scrambling to get their cards as all of a sudden they are Metis.:rolleyes: What stance do you think Mr. Ducharme has now that his family are card carrying members of the Metis "kill anything, anytime and as much" club???

IBTL:D :D :D

...........One CO i talked with in Lac la biche said he has never seen as many cow kills as he did this past fall. Sure the meat may not have been wasted but the CO admitted checking people more often this year that did not need tags and just needed their "Kill anything i want cards" Too me this is just as bad as leaving the meat on the ground and taking the cape. Those regions up their cannot afford to let people kill any ### they desire.
 
I don't live up that way , but did and will hunt there in the future. That kinda thing is just aweful. I would not have a certain group fingured here. Don't forget about people with no life that are just killing things because.
I would also look at EBAY for the heads. I wonder if EBAY has the tracking info on antlers. This may be worth looking into. DNA from ---........................Three weeks ago i came a cross a real big bodied deer with the head cut off and everything left. This was north of Edson in 346. Disgusting. Linked to a large rack may help , just grasping at straws. But the Ebay thing may be valid with all the racks selling. If that would be the case what a shame.

Just a sidebar from the finger pointing. In this area I am talking about we have no metis hunters. The waste is from local poachers and I say this with proof, young riggers that come home from the oil field with pockets full of money, bellies full of booze and S**T for brains. A few of these young fellas jump into thier lifted F350's at hit the road, drinking and shooting. Then they go to the local bar and boast about it.

Next time any of you feel that the finger is easily pointed at metis or status hunters, remember that "joe whiteguy" can, and has been just as wasteful and in some cases a heck of alot more dangerous out there.

I don't know anyone who would not jump at the opportunity to get a card if the chance was there.
 
Since we went to moose antler restrictions around here 10 years ago, I've seen a lot of illegal bulls shot and left by the "shoot first/count later" types. Same thing happened when we went to the 4 point restriction on mule deer. A lot of 3 pointers were shot and left...damn shame :(
