While it is considered a serious crime for some, to shoot a bighorn in a national park, it is perfectly legal for others to do so.

Probably was, or done by a more equal who isn’t included this time. No one else can be found to possess or sell an unplugged ram.
This is the kind of nonsense that happens when people like KVT, Karsten and their followers are employed in parks Canada. Racism, poaching, foolish policy, poor management.
Parks Canada needs a much overdue overhauling. If it’s going to be a national park, take the social politics out of it.

"Parks closed the area until further notice, citing public safety, according to a Friday news release, which indicated wardens believe a poaching offence likely took place between 4 p.m. Oct. 16 and 10 a.m. Oct. 17"
Why would this be considered a public safety issue? Bizarre...

Unless you shoot one that just steps out of a park or mine. Then you are mighty. It might even make you famous. Lol.

It sounds more like they are trying to hide something from the public.

"Likely a poaching offence"?
Unless both sheep were shot above the neck where the heads were cut off you would think that they could tell right away if a weapon was used on these sheep?
What are the odds they were Ramming heads together and they both stroked out and buddy came along,found the sheep and figured he needed some decorations for his house....?
my theory seems highly unlikey but ,"likely a poaching offence" seems like they are unsure if the animals were indeed poached.

Investigation, something may have indicated reasoning to close the park which has not been released. If they told us everything it could jeopardize the investigation plus it wouldn’t be as much fun reading social media platforms with all the spin offs

Don't you know?
It's because there could be a crazed, whacked out slobbering poacher roaming around in the woods over there..packing an assault weapon and a machete..
''Beheading'' everything and everyone in sight..
Bizarre to most.... believable to some within PC..

Exactly.
It was headline news a few years ago....They were gonna ''find their man'' , they were getting vehicle track imprints and gathering info when a WT was found poached and ''beheaded'' on the side of the highway just west of town.
Turns out it was hit by a vehicle... some dude driving by seen it in the ditch, stopped and took its head and carried on.... you know , just like they do 50 km east of there no prob...
These rams coulda been road kill. I've seen dead rams ( with heads ) laying on the side of the road there before.

Article says wardens "believe they were poached."
Don't think that means 'hit by a car'.

So a single WT warrants a big expensive investigation, but it's no big deal to allow FN to kill a truckload if animals in the park?

They've determined there were 3 trucks traveling together which is now considered a convoy.

Even taking the head off a dead animal, would be considered poaching in the Parks. I know one guy who paid 5,000. for picking up an elk shed.
