I'm sure some here on this forum were able to capture some photos of the elk referenced in the article. I saw him him a couple of weeks before but bypassed the crowds for a more natural setting. Poaching is bad enough, being a bad shot makes it worse. Hopefully they catch this person.

I heard the reward is $5,000. Let's hope that inspires someone who knows the d*ckhead who did this.

Very sad indeed. They should up the reward though.

Let's hope a loose comment in public, to a friend, or at a bar leads to the poacher's arrest. Does Estes Park have an ordinance against bowhunting in the city limits? Here in Flagstaff it is legal to bowhunt.
We have a herd of bulls that generally hang around our neighborhood during summer. Cannot fathom bowhunting on the golf course and between houses to pursue what many consider "pets" (although the elk are wild and not fed by people) and enjoy looking at when they come out to the meadow.

That is heartbreaking. Humanity sucks.
