It's been a long long long time since I heard of a deer hunter being
robbed

I'd never heard of it before a couple of months ago. Some friends of
mine went elk hunting in MT this year, two of 'em got one. They went
back to camp to grab a couple of quads to pack 'em down. When they
(four of 'em) returned there were a dozen + guys, armed and they had
walkie talkies, who were quarterin' up th' kills.

Three of m' buds had left their rifles at camp. Th' one guy who
brought his started to raise it, but th' other three stopped him since
they were sorely outnumbered. Plus they were out inna middle of
nowhere in unfamiliar territory. Needless to say they were scared
****less and not even remotely prepared for that **** to happen.

That was Mike's first elk and he's still ****ed about it. Stealin'
another guys meat is some low down ****. I hope there's a special
place in hell for 'em. My guess is that wasn't th' first time those
guys did that.

I am truly comforted by this thought:

Mean tough lowlife sumbitches always eventually meet up with someone meaner,
tougher, and lower. You don't go around doing that long before luck runs
out.

Still, losing all that elk is sad.

Unless you were prepared to stand off some distance and snipe em,
shrug. Easy enought to have terminated all dozen + before they would
have been able to escape...but to do so over an elk...shrug.

One hopes that they got a LP number or other ID.

Buddy of a buddy had that happen with a mountain goat once, he was
going for the All American 5. Ever since then, he carries a can of
dayglo green spray paint. The moment he gets up to the carcass, he
spritzes it pretty good. Its really hard for a bandit to claim it was
his after that.

Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
