    Disgusting find in the Okanagan

    Saw this this morning, I knew this type of thing happened but really? As far as I am concerned there is no penalty strong enough for whoever has done this!
    "A North Okanagan woman says she came across approximately 80 bear paws dumped on a road and in a culvert above Shuswap Lake on Sunday."

    So a taxidermist or hide flesher picked a bad spot to dump skinned out paws?

    Apparently there was Cub paws. Doubtful on it being a taxidermist at that point

    How is it apparent that there are cub paws?

    Scotch Creek is not really near the Okanagan.....


    CBC embellishing the story this a.m.
    'A Woman that describes herself as an experienced hunter makes a discovery.......'
    '.claws are missing which are trafficked internationally......'

    It used to be 'Observe, Record, Report'
    Now it is 'Observe, Record, Hit SM with Rant'

    I would say poaching ring if anything, why would a Taxidermist dump just the paws and nothing else make no sense, jmho of course.

    The paws are the only thing usually left in the hide when a taxidermist gets them.

    If I brought a hide in for a rilugbid likely cut it off at the paws and let the taxidermist handle that part
