Coward Goofs poach a yearling bighorn sheep by Spence's bridge

[Boondock]

I seriously hope these losers get caught!! Unfuxxing believable!! There's a link at the bottom with video footage of these goofs!!

Officials in B.C. are on the hunt for a pair of possible poachers, after a yearling lamb bighorn sheep was found dead in Spences Bridge, just off Highway 1.According to the B.C. Conservation Officer Service (COS), a motorist spotted two men in a field on the north side of the freeway, just northeast of Spences Bridge.The pair both had rifles, and appeared to be in a shooting position, the COS said. They then shot and left the young bighorn in the field and fled the area.

There were two .308 caliber shell casings found at the scene, according to the COS.
Bighorn sheep are on B.C.’s “blue list,” which means they are not directly threatened, but are a species of concern.
Investigators are now looking for two men. The first is described as aged 45 to 55 years old, and was wearing a dark or black jacket with dark grey or black pants.

The second man was between 40 and 50 years old, had light coloured hair, and was wearing a brown camouflage sweater with a bright logo on the front.He was also wearing a scarf around his neck and grey or green pants.

This is terrible, exactly what anti-gun/anti-hunters will use as firepower. Hope these criminals get caught and prosecuted.

[Island Idiots]

CKNW has a story on their website. Kudos for them for identifying them as poachers and not hunters. They got it right.

[HarryToolips]

^^^exactly, theyre not hunters, period....hope they get caught..

[Island Idiots]

You always wonder what goes on in peoples heads.. Thought it was a mule deer? Always wanted to get a bighorn sheep?
Just because we could?
I think with all the publicity its just a matter of time until they get them. I can't get over how brazen this was. The video shows they knew it was wrong as they slink away... Wonder where the vehicle was parked?

[Jelvis]

Coody be they thought it was a deer - a doe deer and then saw it up close and freaked. Just saying until we here the whole story we think of all the options.

How old were the shooters? This is another factor.

Jelvis -- we wait to here the whole anchalotta b4 casting stones!

[Island Idiots]

They were older, like 50's. From what I saw they didnt go look, they just shot and ran...

[Busterpayton54]

Is that the field right beside the old ice cream shop/repair shop as soon as you come into town ?

[Jelvis]

Spences Bridge is getting a lot of attention the last year -- getting to meet people in Kamloops who have deep history in Spences Bridge and Ashcroft who one has moved into the Nor Shore --

Jel -- ranchers and what not -- tellin me about the area a bit -- white guys who moved into the area decades ago and simulated with the locals --

Oh, come on Jelly, with all due respect, that's ludicrous.
That was shot right on the frickin hwy!
Right in town (didn't you notice the bchydro power unit? whens the last time you drove there!?)
Too close to hwy!
Not open.
Not even an FN (unless they are 1/8th???)
Total Bulls**t!
Why do you think there is an all out bulletin on these clowns.

[bigredchev]

Very sad. The only positive put come would be hunting and fire arm bans, steep fines directly into conservation and jail time.



But this isn't a perfect world.


Punish poachers to the full extent

[walks with deer]

umm that lamb would be tasty....

but had to be a complete moron to shoot it.

[walks with deer]

all joking aside can we not get some zoom in pics of this weirdos....start a hbc wall of shame...there must have been a vehicle?

[boxhitch]

yeah, funny that there isn't more footage or followup
and what is that guy carrying for a firearm ? seems awfully short

[Bugle M In]

I would assume that he/she only saw it transpiring, thus not seeing the "actual shots being taken".
And, once those guys got up and turned around, and them both noticing that they might have been just "busted" by the person recording, I ask this, would you want to still be standing there with your phone filming as they approach back towards you with guns in hand, and realizing that you are filming it.
I think my video would get shut down quick and back in the truck and gone asap to go report and get away from those clowns.
Who knows what lengths they would go to???

Absolutely no excuse. It is the hunter's responsibility to fully identify that an animal is legal to hunt BEFORE shooting it. Furthermore, shooting at something if you don't 100% know exactly what it is would constitute Careless Use of a Firearm, which is a criminal offence under the Criminal Code of Canada.

[srupp]

Wow..Greetings from Alberta
that location is just south of the cliffs JUST as you enter Spenses Bridge..across from Acaddia rv and Cabins..where the big flag flies.its the flats where the hydro electric chain linked compound.
Always sheep there and traditional sheep killing fields for natives.
Find whoever did this.. $20,000 fine confiscate vehicle, all weapons lifetime ban
pathetic..baby sheep dont look like any other animals.
Very upsetting.

[RackStar]

That’s sad...
i hope they get the book thrown at them.

[Jelvis]

These people native or white?

Jel -- just wondering dint want to look at film --?

[Big Lew]

As someone else pointed out, that specific spot is well within the hwy no shooting zone,
so even considering the absurd 'thought it was a deer' scenario, there's no way it should
have happened.

[Jelvis]

Maybe the lil sheep was wounded, hit by a car and these nice guys quit the suffering? Anybody?

Jel -- any options other than it was a cold blooded poacher shooting off the highway with a semi-auto with his sick buddy

[tinhorse]

Almost seems like they wanted to get some publicity and give "hunting" another kick in the nuts. Who the f would do this in broad daylight on the side of a busy Hwy unless they wanted it filmed. There is no way you can think no body I'd going to see that. Crazy!

[Jelvis]

Hey good one tin, how wood the person with a camera get all set up? Could be a setup like your sayin, you work in security?

Jelly Smelly Belly

[Sharpish]

You're gross Jelvis. Relative of yours on the video?

[Jelvis]

Sharpish I'm gross? A relative in video, no relations in Spence's Bridge --> What you talking about I'm gross?
WHooooooooooooooooo r u who who - who who, I really wanna know who who -- The Who
Jelly in Kammy -- Lookin sharp -- lookin for > -- sharpy you gotta a problem Hahahahahhahahahahahahah you live in Victoria - a government worker?

Sorry but they deserve all the stones that get tossed at them. If you can't tell the difference from a doe then you shouldn't be pulling the trigger. Hopefully with all the film footage on TV they get a new record high sentence. It should put some pressure on the judge to do his job for a change.......

I was actually really hoping this is the case. Obviously not legal, but somewhat morally justifiable. If not, these two need a serious shitkicking.

[Jelvis]

Let's not forget folks, these shooters have a mother somewhere and a father.

Jelly Berry --> maybe a brother or step brother and you or I might know them? ----> empathy and sympathy -- let's portray that this was an exception to the rule.

And your point?

Starting a hug a poacher champagne or does that new pot store in Kamloops sell some really good stuff

[Arctic Lake]

Any more to this story ? It just seems so bold , I mean right off the highway. What were they thinking ...Hmmmm obviously they weren't thinking . Strange mentality for sure !
Arctic Lake

[Jelvis]

--> Wild one next thing we know you'll be rappin Hahahaha -- my point is -- Lettuce not assume when we see things too quickly, it can make us use emotion instead of self control in the thoughts -- eenie meenie miney moe -- roses are red violets are blue - we can make this thing come true --
-- Hug a poacher? Whoa! I don't think so -- if it was intentional and not a mistake? It makes a slight difference to me -- a mistake can be forgiven
Everyone is living and a mistake can be forgiving butt an intentional shot iz not forgotten, and no - I'm not talkin about Johnny Rotten --> You forgotten? Whaa?
--> the Pot Stores in Kamloops are trying out new stuff on thousands of willing ginny pigs Hahahahaha and make them pay too Hahahahaha
------------ some stuff was laced with hash and a sativa named Violator with X-tah C and Paradise Cave ----> New Names all the time -- Hybrids -- Wow we - Zow E

Jelly thee Dee Loosh Inn Al Poet - and all the chicks Noet --I can grow it Hahahahaha -- rahh k noo hoooo gotto go folks, my buddy rocks still dan best noo rahhhk

[Wild one]

Motivation for this is unknown so I don’t judge it but the evidence on this one shows one of 2 things in my opinion

1)These guys just don’t care and it’s intentional poaching

2) These guys really have no idea with regs, wildlife identification, or overall have no clue

Both kinds need to be held responsible for the actions because one needs punishment other correction. Neither 1 or 2 has a real excuse that justifies their actions

The waste of this sheep is another issue that shows at the min someone realized they screwed up

[Jelvis]

If you got the money -- hire a lawyer and do something otherwise stf you know whad u - Hahahahahha

Government hasn't got all the money to take (your assumptions) to court without an RCMP complaint based report filed and a charge laid.

1. D.N.A. or finger prints you'll need
2. you'll need the sheep
3. you'll need actual witnesses
4. you'll need C.O. report
5. Cop report
6. Evidence of gun and ammo matching bullet hole
7. need measurements how far the shooter was from the Hwy
8. you'll need millions of Loonies Hahahahahah
9. you have to know exact time of year, month and day you saw it happen

Jel - get serious ok -- your living in a dream world prolly a drinker of ink o hall eh? L KO Hall Licker

[j270wsm]

At one time I used to like your posts jelvis......now all I read is FN supporting drum beating bullshit and confrontational posts/threats. It's like your trying to stir the pot........

[Jelvis]

270wsm what are you trying to say on here? Only Pot I wanna stir is the kind you smoke Hahahahahahahahaha

Jello -- You want me to leave now that you know one of my relatives is Injun? That's kinda way out there for you isn't it? You really surprized me with this post.

------------ Maybe your right -- time to have a break - I'm getting verbally wasted Hahahahahahha - C-Yah

[j270wsm]

Jelvis, I never said anything about you or your family's ethnicity or cultural background.

[Steelie64]

Anyone know what happened with this? Did these asshats get caught?

[Bugle M In]

x2^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[Mosin]

The rifle barrel looks cut down on that pic. Looks like a white guy about 40ish, pics are super grainy. Unless there's a plate number hard to prosecute this one.

[Drillbit]

Pretty hard to believe there's no vehicle description at least.

How did the camera guy not get one?

[Mosin]

Yeah no kidding. No vehicle description, no plate number or at least partial plate number at the very least. Too bad we will never get the story from the guy that actually took the pic.

[Vortex hunter]

that's just so wrong and disgusting on so many levels , makes me just f#cking pissed off

[Bugle M In]

I just wonder if the person filming got scared and suddenly realized that he was spotted by the shooters while filming
them.
Have to realize, he filmed right at the point of the shot was taken.
They turned quickly and looked right at the person filming.
I can see how that person may have wanted to get in their car, get the hell out of there, and put some distance
between them.
If that's the case, there would have been no practical time for plate #'s.

Just surprised the CO's/RCMP haven't figured out who those individuals are.
There most be atleast several people out there that know these clowns personally.

[Bigdoggdon]

Have we heard from the CO's or the RCMP on this, maybe the guys self reported after seeing they were being filmed.

Are we sure this wasn't someone ethically dispatching an animal hit by a car.

Just seems like they're begging to be caught shooting off the side of the highway in broad daylight.

So either really stupid or very humane.
