Aggression in elk country

[3325]

Aggression over resources didn’t end with mountain men and Indians:

Hunting led to a hospital bed for this Jackson landscaper

A Jackson man was severely injured along the Greys River Road on Saturday evening when two unidentified men beat him up during a hunting excursion.

My gut says there’s another side to this story…

Stealing a BOAL is risky business.

I had something similar happen, only it didn't end with a fight. I killed a cow and a bull one morning. They ended up being maybe 800 yards apart. After killing the bull (shot to the back of the head, horns split) I turned it down hill and cuts it neck to bleed out. I then went and found the cow, got her ready for quartering and transport. But the funny thing was when I got a couple hundred yards from my bull I heard 1-2 rifle shots near the area I killed my bull. It was in heavy timber.

When I returned to my bull, probably an hour or maybe a little longer, there were three guys butchering my bull. The main guy doing the butchering was a local land owner and owner of the guide service. He was known for being a real asshole and I had experienced it firsthand. He told me he thought someone had shot the bull and just not found it. I said so someone shot a bull in th3 back of the head, it died where it stood, then drug it to face down hill and cut the neck wide open and you thought someone lost their elk? Not too mention one of the guys there helping the butchering watched me kill both animals from the top of the ridge.

Some hunters are shady.

If it were me in the situation in the news story, I doubt I would have done anything with the animal. There's a chance if it hadn't been touched I would have cut it up, hung it over night and checked it the following day. But I doubt it.

I agree, can you imagine killing or being killed over an Elk?
