Way cool reporting! smile.gif gotta agree with you there Norm.

A little story about some other poachers that got busted...

About 20 years ago my father was hunting Mulies on an indian reservation in NM. On his way in he met two guys that were packing up their Jeep. They had antlers and capes for two realy nice bucks. My dad thought nothing of it since most hunters in the area had the meat processed professionaly then shipped home but took the cape and antlers with them. My dad stopped to chat with the guys and they told him where they had gotten the bucks and said there were more still out there. My dad decided to hunt the same area that day and started hiking. About a mile out he saw what he thought was 2 gut piles, as he got closer, however, he realized it was two whole deer...minus capes and antlers. He hiked back into town and let the indian authorities know. They picked up the two poachers and matched the bodies with the capes. The native court confiscated the jeep, both rifles, and all hunting gear the men had with them. They also fined them $1000 each, and revoked their rights to hunt there ever again. Once the tribe was done prosecuting them, they were turned over to the state and federal authorities. The US government does not recognize tribal court rulings due to some wrinkle of keeping the two seperate, thus the state and federal authorities proceded to prosecute the case as if no punishments had yet been given...

Now that would be a deterent to poaching... smirk.gif
