Four Teens Used Deer as Bait for Eagle in Washington
Am Shooting Journal ^ | 1/23/2018 | J Hines

Posted on 01/23/2018 5:08:04 AM PST by w1n1

Not only were they poaching, the Deer was used as Eagle Bait
This is straight up from Washington Dept Fish and Wildlife Police.
Officer Bolton responded to assist a Klickitat County Sheriff’s Deputy who had detained three juvenile tribal members near the Klickitat River with a loaded rifle in their vehicle.
The deputy was planning to give a warning to the fifteen year old for the loaded rifle, but found that none of the occupants even had a drivers license.
Fresh blood and deer hair was also found in the car.

Officer Bolton and the deputy searched the area for downed wildlife and soon discovered a relatively fresh doe deer on the hillside near where the suspects had parked.
Four older deer carcasses in various stages of decomposition were found in the same location.
The officers learned that one of the young men shot the doe the night before by using a high powered spot light. Read the rest of the deer used as eagle bait story here.

1. What they did was wrong and illegal
2. In some locales, eagles are as pesky and bothersome as seagulls are along the coast. They are scavengers, not ‘Great Noble Hunters’.

As an example - beautiful scavengers. (AKA predator rats with wings)

If they were looking for Eagles, why not just find one of those windmills and pick up as many carcasses as they needed?

"young men shot the doe the night before by using a high powered spot light."

But they will be referred to the Tribal Council for punishment......and likely nothing will happen.

Some folks might use a rifle for this task.

1. What they did was wrong and illegal

Only if they are non-Indians, otherwise, if they are treaty tribe Indians, they can do whatever the tribe permits - including killing as many deer as they want, and killing eagles for the feathers - both of which they can sell for fun and profit.

Non-Indians doing this are usually hung out to dry with big fines and much jail time. Indians are celebrated for continuing their tribal traditions (of rape, pillage, and murdering wildlife en mass). Moral: Know who your Masters are and stay off their ‘territory’.

Most likely hunting Eagles for their feathers. Multiple laws broken which most likely will lead to no punishment. Like other minorities Native Americans are extended rights the rest of us are not!!! As for Eagles they do what eagles do to exist nothing more nothing less.

Alaska paid over $100,000 in bounties for 115,000 bald eagles between 1917 and 1942.

That was one of many facts ignored by the EPA when they banned DDT.....

Missed the part about their being ‘indigenous peoples’.

Yup. Taken off the endangered species list in 2006, right?

They missed the Eagles and by accident hit Vikings. Damn Redskins.
