Hunters blast away at elk decoy; nine cited

By Cory Hatch

A young bull elk decoy in a closed hunting area off Union Pass Road looked too good to resist for a number of hunters whom Wyoming Game and Fish cited Oct. 1.

Of 29 people who slowed down their vehicles to look at the decoy, nine, or 31 percent, fired weapons at it, resulting in 19 citations and four warnings from officers.

All nine hunters fired either from their vehicles or from the road itself. A total of 30 bullets hit the decoy. “Three people shot it so many times they knocked it over,” said Scott Werbelow, game warden supervisor for the Jackson/Pinedale region.

This year’s effort resulted in six citations for shooting from a roadway, three citations for taking elk from a vehicle, six citations for taking elk during a closed season, three citations for taking elk without a license, and one citation for transfer of license. All told, the fines amounted to $7,700.

Maybe, just maybe down there in ole Jackson Hole, they're selling boxes of ammo with a big scoop of stupid these days.

Idiots.

5. My forestry teacher was a game warden in Kruger National Park

and what THEY'D do is glue two reflectors to a rock and just wait.....

He said they got HUGE numbers of people who would take a shot, wonder why the hell the animal hadn't done down, take another shot, and just sit there blasting at a rock half the night.

Good times. :D
