Time of shooting reportly was at 5:30pm. Wouldn’t it be dark at that time?

Hopefully they nail the poachers...
If that were the case, it could have been person(s) shooting the bunch hoping that one
would turn out to be legal. I've seen evidence of this several times over the years.
There are some pretty callous, unscrupulous, and uncaring individuals out there. I've also
seen where someone has purposely fatally shot an animal just to watch it suffer before dying.
The first animal I saw that was callously shot was a big range bull on the way to Gaspard Lake
on the Gang Ranch. The people that killed it did so out of spite because a young cowboy
wouldn't tow their heavy disabled 2wd truck with camper out of an area with signage stating
"4 wheel drive only, no towing available beyond this place."
what gets me going is they blame hunters. I think bcwf should take them to task on the wording.
No one on their death bed ever said; I should have spent more time at work.
Next time a land owner says no...you know why. I know a local rancher having same issue as well as other stories of increased poaching this year. Seems like there are less and less ethical hunters out there that will do anything to get their next great Facebook profile pic. Just gives the antics more ammo.
CBC radio this morning called them hunters, and that the activity was illegal. Wording like that leaves a negative feel to hunting. These were not hunting, they were poaching. As far as I am concerned, hunting is a perfectly good and legal activity. Poaching is anything that does not sit within the word of the law and rules. These characters were far outside the definitions of legal hunting.

hmm more info on line sounds like a truck load of guys...they where confronted by land owner and fled..sounds like a bad judgment call by some draw holders...unfortunatley they are probably on this site..
sounds like pushing the legal light and trespassing..than abandonment...ughh big black eye.
Without a doubt this is wrong.....but why is it when it involves FNs in similar scenario on private land without permission it doesn’t make the news. Just saying.
