Just watched a landlocked public elk hunt on You tube.

Just watched a land locked public elk hunt on You Tube (reminded me of the time Randy did this) but on this hunt the owner of the ranch that surrounds the public piece tried to steal one of the hunters elk head / rack. Crazy stuff!!!

I couldnt find a pilot willing to do it

There was an article about it in the fall after it happened but I just watched that this morning too. Was a bit frustrating hearing what was done and where things are at now. When I imagine a scenario where a public land hunter steals a head from one of the guides’ clients I hope they would be treated with the same grace (no hunter harassment and just theft under $1k).

I also imagine myself in that situation and being in Montana there is rarely a time I don’t have at least one unfilled tag so would be curious if hunter harassment could be brought with a deer/turkey/bear tag when retrieving an elk skull, presuming I was carrying my rifle.
