Pronghorn poached and stuffed in rental van
- Thread starter Prerylyon
- Start date
can't do the time don't do, the crime!
in no way condoning what they did but at least ,it seems ,they weren't gonna let it go to waste.
can't understand why anyone would even want to take such a risk. especially for a prairie goat. they hardy got enough meat on em for more then a couple meals.
I don't really oppose someone who is starving doing it to survive. but let's be honest here, if they could afford a rental van and are traveling across state lines they are not starving.

The depth of their investigation was noteworthy-confiscation of the smart phones as evidence; makes me wonder what else might have been going on or what else those two were up to?

hard to say but they clearly have zero respect for rule of law.
probably the only lesson they will take away from this is that they are always under surveilence when using electronic comunication. IF they are even intelligent enough to learn that.

It was not much of a financial penalty but at least they lost their licenses across most states for the next six or seven years. As they were traveling back-and-forth for hunts in South Dakota that is obviously something that they were passionate about that's being taken away and rightfully so!

I'm not really sure if you're right when you say they weren't going to let it go to waste. So they shot it on their way from CA to SD. Got to SD, and hung it over the weekend. Then they were driving back to CA with the carcass in the van wrapped in a blanket. This was in September. How cold was that meat? No ice I'm assuming. I have a hard time believing the meat was still going to be good by the time they got to CA.
that's true,it very well may have been lost by destination. but they evidently were intending to eat it. why else load it in the first place?

People like this don't poach a animal for food. Evidently they could afford to pay for a rental vehicle to drive a couple thousand miles to a piece of property that one of them owned to hunt on. Odds are that they would hunt multiple states each year and as the article said they were headed to a "hunting property." So neither one of them is likely hurting for any money to purchase food with. They don't say how big the antelope was or if the head was still with them so who knows just what was in their mind as they did this.
Perhaps they planned on using the meat for dog food or something else. There is just a lot to this story that doesn't make any sense. But in my book they got off real lite for what they did and or planned on doing.

JimP,
That's my take too-seems like more was going on-we may never know the whole story-not to say COs shouldn't use the latest tools and forensics for their job-it just sounds like a lot for a poached antelope. I have a theory-colorful at that-they were smuggling the critter for the overseas medicinal trade...[emoji23]
Hey, it might be true?

Doubtful, he was home eating only greens after I stole the salmon filets he was grilling on this particular day! (check the grill'em up thread).

'BC,
I think he was saying my theory on the 'overseas medicinal smuggling' might hold some water; but maybe you're right-somehow I was involved in the plot as part my relentless pursuit of paleo protein! [emoji38]
WY--> SD--> NV...CA? Idk though, that was some well aged meat-gourmet even-lol-didn't see much in the way of a refrigerated trucking system...[emoji90]

knowing this guy , I have no doubt ,HE, would have eaten it.he was a nasty ol feller.
coarse ,I doubt hE would sit around eating GREENS, so ,he weren't all bad.

On the meat, perhaps the carcass was frozen and that is why it was wrapped up in a blanket.
I have often traveled quite a ways with something frozen wrapped in a sleeping bag or jacket to keep it cold. Insulation is insulation.
