He should have known better than to walk to Idaho with his both. You have the right to retrieve game, and could argue that, but once he set foot with his bow, he was hunting. He didn't say, he retrieve the bull, with his bow in hand, so I hope I can assume that correct. It's like anyone else hunting on private land, next to "No Hunting" land. If the deer is hit on your side, and you go in after it with a weapon, then you're hunting illegally. He should have known better. And if it was only 400 yards from the state line, then he could've proved that to the Warden. But for some reason elected not too, and disregard any "proof" he had. Something just doesn't add up when reading his statement. Not to mention all of the terrible shots he obviously made, hitting the neck, windpipe, "possible hits", etc. No wonder why they didn't record any of it....

Sounds to me he saw a big bull just outside of the state line, elected to shoot it, try to cover it up, and is now facing the consequences. I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but geez, his statement just didn't add up.

Just my 2 cents.

Looks like justice was served, so that's that.
