Poaching is suspected.<\/h1>\n<p align=\"left\">Hunters discovered the rotting, but completely intact, elk carcass in a canyon, a mile and a half east of Little Round Mountain. Hunters in the area last saw the massive elk alive Sept. 1.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cIt\u2019s stealing,\u201d hunter Jeff Lewis said. \u201cThe state lost a huge amount. That\u2019s a once in a lifetime bull.\u201d Lewis and his hunting partner Don Roach had been tracking and shooting video of the enormous elk for three years.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cUp until this year, every time we would have an encounter with him he would disappear,\u201d Lewis said. \u201cBut this year he was visible every morning and every night. We thought we would have a chance to have a stalk on him and have a chance to harvest. But the poacher must have seen him too. It\u2019s really horrendous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">After examining the elk Gehrt was able to find what appeared to be trauma to internal organs, in particular to the tops of the lungs, which would be consistent with injuries caused by a small caliber bullet. Due to extent that the elk had decomposed, Gehrt was not able to find the bullet.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cIn the past, poachers have waited to return to an animal because they couldn\u2019t find it or they were waiting to claim the animal when they had a hunting license,\u201d Gehrt said. \u201cThat is what I suspect happened here. The wanton waste in this situation is sickening. It\u2019s one of the reasons that trophy poaching should be a treated as a felony.\u201d<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Gehrt measured the elk\u2019s antler length to be 422.375 inches, shy of the Safari Club International (SCI) New Mexico Big Game Record of 437.625 inches (typical).<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Although archery season opened Sept. 1 in Game Management Unit 23, it is illegal to hunt elk with a firearm during archery season.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">If caught, the poacher could only face misdemeanor charges and potential civil penalties greater than $10,000 for the unlawful killing of a trophy elk this size.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">\u201cThis is an ongoing investigation,\u201d said Gehrt. \u201cWe are following up on every lead.\u201d One witness saw a silver Dodge pickup with dually-style rear wheels and New Mexico plates in the area around the time of the elk\u2019s death. Anyone with information about this crime is urged to call Operation Game Thief toll-free, (800) 432-GAME (4263), or to visit www.wildlife.state.nm.us.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Callers can remain
