The ODFW has been forcing ranchers to support bloated elk herds on their property for decades. A rancher in Wallowa Oregon has been shooting elk to keep them off their property, out of the feed for their cattle (the herd has increased from 40 to 200+). The ODFW has refused to assist, they will not allow them to kill them outright, they are supposed to *scare* the elk out of the fields. The ODFW will not take care of the problem themselves, and they will not provide money for the landowners to build elk proof fencing (if such a thing exists).

The ranchers are expected to host these massive herds on their property at their own expense, and if they kill them, they go to jail.

In this case, the ODFW has released a statement that has everybody all riled up, about how they *raided* this property and found 25 wasted carcasses. Keep in mind they have refused to pick up the animals, have refused to help divert the animals, won't let anybody shoot the animals without jumping through ridiculous hoops and adhering to idiotic rules. The landowners have offered to shoot and let ODFW pick up the animals to use for whatever..the ODFW refuses.

Keeping them out of the fields is a full time job. And now they're going to jail because they are trying to protect their crops for their cattle..who are restricted on public lands.

WALLOWA COUNTY: Harshfield's release statement on elk case
 
Here is the press release of the scumbags:



On April 8, 2017, at about 9:30 a.m., the Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife Division arrested Larry HARSHFIELD, age 69, of Wallowa, after serving a search warrant and concluding an extensive investigation into 25 elk carcasses in various states of decay. Twelve of the elk carcasses were located on the HARSHFIELD property and 13 more were located on adjoining property. The elk carcasses did not appear to have any attempt to salvage meat from them.

HARSHFIELD was arrested for 12 counts of Unlawful Take of Elk in a Closed Season, and 12 counts Waste of Elk for the dead elk found on his property. He was lodged at the Wallowa County Correctional Facility and additional charges for the 13 dead elk, found on the adjoining property, have been referred to the Wallowa County District Attorney for consideration.

A violation of any provision of the wildlife laws (such as the unlawful take of elk), or any rule adopted pursuant to the wildlife laws, is a Class A misdemeanor if the offense is committed with a culpable mental state in Oregon. If convicted, a person can be charged with the maximum penalty of $6,250, have their hunting privileges suspended and forfeit weapons or other items used in the commission of the crime(s).

Anyone with information regarding wildlife violations is encouraged to report the information to the Oregon State Police Turn in Poacher (TIP) hotline at 1-800-452-7888. Information can remain anonymous.

They are freaking OVERRUN by elk. They can't eat it themselves. They can't sell it, that's illegal. They aren't physically able of dressing them out by themselves in the numbers they have to shoot them, and the ODFW refuses to assist.

You know why?

Because they WANT to run them out. They want to bankrupt them, they want them to go to prison.
Because then the state or the feds will move in and either claim the land (they will claim they owe back taxes, fines, fees, you name it) or they will allow someone who pays THEM to take it.

Anyone that bucks the system when they are in the way of big money interest at this point is a target whether they know it or not.

We have already been there we these corporate raiding thugs that could care less about other peoples rights and we are still just hanging on by a thread here.
 
The ODFW regulations are sensible, and koshergrl will not discuss them because she knows they are sensible.

I have no idea what you're talking about here.
 
Ranchers are the American taliban!

They think they have the right to fuck with federal land and break the law? They're scum.
So does this mean that you are one of the NWO fascist pricks pushing for more government control over other peoples private property and invasion into their personal lives? Old time ranchers aren't drug runners either.

Wat?

Tell them to buy 5 freezers, shoot the elk and clean them, and I'll have 5 jews send reefer trailers to pick up the meat, k?

PS: There's this thing called "fencing"

Maybe we'll see a video of that life long Oregon rancher she has...the one with the heavy BRITISH accent.

Wow, all the lunatics are out today.

Another post that makes absolutely no sense.
OK, Allie....you may have forgotten your post, I but I remember it.
whatever, fruit loop.
 
Once again we have some senile old bastard breaking the law, and Kosher defending him. Why don't you go and take some ducks hostage, Kosher? And leave the place full of shit. The Feds should seize all property that the people that occupied the Refuge, sell it off until the amount of damage the we taxpayers paid for there is satisfied.

The economics of ranching are such that if you do not have adaquete producing land, you are not going to be able to continue in business. So many who do not have such land, or do not work their land correctly, blame other factors, such as wildlife or water right laws, for their own failure. This sounds like another case of that.
