One that does not get caught so these were not elite enough.

This story also is an anti hunting hit piece with statements like this

Bear carcasses are sold by trophy hunters and can fetch up to £13,000 on the black market

Six bears killed on a remote island is hardly going to endanger the worlds population.

We know one of the worse things you can do is give total protection to species making them worth more to poachers to take.

"Elite Poachers" are probably those that are connected to high government officials or Russian organized crime.
