I can literally count the braincells on this motherfuckers face. On the other hand, you can do that with every single person who goes out shooting animals for no reason except "It's fun doing it". They're braindead assholes and we are better off without them on the planet.
According to one article, "Potential charges include failing to retrieve edible portions of wildlife and waste of wildlife." So yeah, dude just killed it and left, so that's not cool.
You need a permit to hunt and the dates varies depending if it's rifle, bow, etc. So my guess is that he didn't have a permit for hunting at all. When agents got there, he was starting to gut the elk and left without taking anything. So he basically killed an elk and left it to rot. Agents saved what they could according to the article I've read. So if he gets caught, weapon gun, truck gone and if they search his house, his freezer might be a goner too.
As for the dangers of poaching aside from the waste: Hunting is used to control animal populations and the permits issued (which are inexpensive and easy to get) are used to control population levels. Sometimes permit/license issuing is changed or restricted based on needs. Too many poachers or people hunting the wrong animals can quickly spiral into a population crisis that fucks EVERYTHING up in the area. A (food) chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
In most of the world, poachers are generally doing it because they're facing crushing poverty and the solution is probably to elleviate the economic circumstances.
This dude seems to have just done it for fun. What the fuck.
There was a case of people poaching in Wisconsin recently where they were doing it for fun, and killed a LOT of deer, and were horrible to those poor deer. It's a horrible case, and wtf is wrong with people.
Could be he has a felony conviction and can't handle a firearm or get a hunting license. Could be he "hates the man". There's so many reasons people poach in the US and they're 98% "I'm an asshole" 2% poverty
Imagine not just spotting the camera, but walking up to it and looking right into it. You don't need to make sure what it is, just avoid it! Luckily, this man is apparently too stpid to do that.

Guys, he might just be broke and hungry. Remember it isn't just "sportsmen" who go hunting.

out of the loop. How is poaching a male elk that bad? Are they endangered in the area? did he just kill it for antlers and not use the meat?

Granted - I'm not so familiar with poaching in the USA. In the UK Animal hunting is almost always a bloodsport which needs to die.
If he *does* happen to be from poverty, then I sympathise. We need to do more to make poaching unnecessary, globally.
