“I don’t want you hunting this outfit.”

The rancher doesn’t think it was a one man trespass.

Questioning The Trespass Story

DeLapp said he wonders whether McKean and the other hunters didn’t realize they’d trespassed at the time the bull was shot.

The bull died on a hillside and was apparently dragged about 25 yards onto a flat section of public land before it was quartered up, he said.

Given the sheer size of a bull elk carcass, DeLapp said it seems like a lot of work to drag it, even for multiple people.

So, he wonders if it wasn’t dragged to quickly get it off private property.

If McKean wants to “do the right thing” in response to trespassing, that should include naming who, if anyone, helped him drag the carcass, DeLapp said. https://cowboystatedaily.com/2026/0...opter-hunters-says-he-received-death-threats/
I’ve kicked elk and had them roll farther than 25 yards had to even begin to speculate how hard it would be to drag a elk 25 yards I’ve pushed dragged and pulled multiple bulls farther than that to get them to a better spot to quarter them up
