Fraking bastards. They wasted the meat and took the trophy. This occurred in late August, if you were scouting the area at about that time and remember anything.
The elk was located west of Forest Road 153 near Point and Javelina water catchments. The poacher left the meat to waste
I'm assuming it's the one in the pics released from the story as it was by a water catchment and had game cams.
I've never even seen an ELK that big in the wild. Hell, I dont think I've seen one taken on tv that big, point/trophy wise. Rare in a non high fence area. s*** rare there too.
