is it ridiculous that someone poached an animal that nobody anywhere had any idea he killed it then the first place it shows up is the expo?

I think it would be na?ve to believe that NONE of the animals at a hunting expo were poached. How many articles have we seen where animals were poached for television shows..?? If people are brazen enough to do it on television, I imagine there are a few that would do it to get their animal in a booth at an expo.
I'd say SFW and MDF would hold as much blame as the network that aired a television show that involved poaching- which is almost none. Would you suggest they investigate the origin of every single mount at the expo..?? Impossible.
I may not like some aspects of the Expo, but this thread is a stretch my friend. You are probably right about there being poached animals at the Expo, but I wouldn't point the finger at the Expo- I'd point it at the poacher.

Ditto! There's been poaching ever since there have been laws against it and for as many reasons/excuses as you could possibly imagine.

It's ok to bring up poaching here. I hope not to bash the Expo but just for talk.
I remember when I was a young man I was amazed at a hunter from Soda Springs Idaho named Cal Cazier. He was on the cover of Outdoor Life every year with another monster muley. Finally found out he was busted. He was a Wildlife Officer and he poached the animals in the winter. He was a bow hunter .

I think you are a little mixed up DrMad. I think the guy you are talking about was really named Cal Coziah. I met him many years ago at some hunting expo at the Salt Palace. He was a pretty down to earth kind of guy. He was a great bow hunter, and did a lot of his hunting back when Idaho gave out two tags per hunter. He also wrote a fantastic book about bow hunting that I think is the best book onb the subject ever written, called "Bucks Bows and Campfires". I have two copies and they are treasured possessions. His book was mostly about deer hunting, but includes some elk, antelope and bear hunting stories in it.
He planned on writing a book about elk hunting and another about hunting other misc animals, that I am sure would have also been classics.
He got into trouble when he stretched the law a little with a buck he shot near the Idaho/Wyoming border and put the wrong state's tag on it and also something to do with a bobcat that wasn't quite legal. Those kinds of little details used to be stretched pretty commonly by old timers many years ago, but is frowned upon a lot stronger nowadays. After his trouble with the law, he never did write his other books before he died of cancer, which was a great loss as far as I am concerned.
