Yeah, last year, um, he was hunting with his buddy Adam Miles, uh, northwestern Wyoming, like very high density of grizzlies.
Shoots that bull late a- it's late in the afternoon, so they watch it walk off and bed down about 100 yards away, but by this time it's, like, very close to getting dark, and they don't wanna mess with cutting it up and, you know, potentially r- run into a grizzly at night.
So they, they just leave it, and then they come back in at first light with pistols drawn, and they find the bull dead right where it was laying, only it was partially consumed by a grizzly.
Um, so, uh, Niziollek was concerned about potentially contaminated meat and the possibility of the bear returning, which is very legitimate, like, that bear was probably close by.
Um, you know, you guys ran into a similar situation in Alaska a while back.
Um, they photographed the bull, uh, cut off its head, uh, punched his elk tag, and just left the carcass.
And on the way out he w- he warned other hunters and, and cowboys tending cattle in the area about the carcass, you know, in, in case a grizzly came back.
So little, little time passes, uh, and a Wyoming game warden, Jordan Winter, uh, invested- invase- investigated the carcass, uh, after achieving, receiving some tips from other hunters that, you know, saw a headless elk carcass and, you know, rightly so called it in.
Um, uh, Thanksgiving, so almost two months later, the winter interviews Niziollek- Confiscated his elk skull, antlers, and cellphone as poten- potential evidence.
