More rage bait: Grizzly claiming your elk and getting a ticket for waste?

They kind of had me with the provocative title, until you get into the details. One of many such cases where they shoot a bull in the evening and decide to just come back in the morning for the head and spoiled meat. Doesn’t look like a bear was on that elk to me, more like coyotes and ravens. Didn’t stop them from taking the time to cut the head off of course.

I don't hunt areas with grizzly bears so i really don't know about that. But I do know there were three people there and they could have made some very loud noises to alert any critters that may be nearby. Then one person, by himself, while the others watched and continued to make noise, could have taken both hind quarters off with the skin still on and drug them clear out in the open away from the carcass in about ten minutes tops. Probably less time than it took to get the head detached. Then they could have assesed further and taken the backstraps and fronts in about another ten minutes.

Also, I am purely speculating here, but that bear doesn't look like it was ripped open by a bear. It looks like a slice from a knife or maybe even the broadhead.
