gitcha_some Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 me and my dad are coming up the road next to our hunting farm when i notice what looks like a dead deer in the field about 30 yards from the road. We pull the truck up to it and guess what someone poached the biggest buck off our property and just cut its head off for the trophy. im so mad right now i cant even see straight but trying to keep my calm so i dont get kicked off of here for cursing. i just am in shock right now ive been hunting that deer for 3 years hard and some redneck just shot him from their car and chopped its head off...i might just call it a season and quit for the rest...this just ruins my spirit completely i have no motivation to hunt knowing there r people out there that would do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MossySNPR Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Re: i cant believe this Absolutely brutal man, these people should be locked away, they do NOTHING but pound down a good hunters ethics and morals. If I EVER witnessed something like that, I'de be glad to accept the assault charges. Its probably hard for you to want to continue hunting, I know the feeling when somebody shoots your big buck... all I can say is, keep going for another buck, once the seasons over and we enter our "waiting for hunting season" stage, you might be sorry you didin't spend the time you had in the woods.

wtnhunt Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Re: i cant believe this That is a shame, but truth is there are a lot of poachers out there and they are all really sorry. Hope the person or persons responsible get caught. Like mossy said, would not let it stop me from hunting. Sure it is disheartening, but you never know what else might happen along.

JoshM Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Re: i cant believe this Sorry to hear man.....But dont stop hunting....Even if you know that the huge deer is gone...Just get focused again and who knows...maybe a bigger one will come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsmola Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Re: i cant believe this keep your chin up, it may not be the same buck unless there was some distintive markings or something, otherwise you never really know how many big bucks are in your area, we've been surprised by big bucks we've never seen before more than once. Even if it is the big one you think it is, there's probably other big bucks in the area, you just have to find em! Good luck, hope it's not the buck you think it is!

deerslayer2295 Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Re: i cant believe this hey I know something like this really kills your spirit, but you can't give up on something you love. who knows, someday you may be teaching your ethics to tomorrows new hunters. someone has to teach them the right things, and that poaching, illegal hunting, and any other act that breaks the law is unethical.

beagleboy Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Re: i cant believe this Don't stop hunting. Imagine the bucks that are still out there. There's probably a monster out there with your name on him. Don't let poachers ruin your season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reloader Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Re: i cant believe this That is sickening...but if it stops you from hunting it has done more than rob you of one deer...it will have robbed you of future memories and many more deer to come. Don't let it do that. Heck that monster may have been keeping another monster off your land just by right of seniority...now that that one is gone, maybe you will get the next one in line.

MadHuntinPastor Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Re: i cant believe this Where there is one big buck.....there are plenty more. Chin up buckaroo....go and kill a monster and just picture a small sixpoint that the poacher killed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would shoot it, cut the head off and leave the body, just like what happened to you!! The NYS Dept. of Conservation, took a DNA test of the body. Then they went to all of the local taxidermists and took the same test of recent bucks which have been submitted. They found a match. They had the taxidermist call the guy, to have him come to the shop. When he got to the shop, the DEC arrested him on the spot. Maybe your law enforcement can do the same thing. It sucks when idiots ruin your hunting. Us law abiding hunters work hard to legally and ethically kill deer. Then to have some jack **** ruin it. Call the athorities and see what they can do. They will help you find who did this. It is their job and they take it seriously!!! --Rossman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckshot Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Re: i cant believe this Man that sucks! But don't skip hunting this season,spend as much time hunting with your dad as you can.Those memories will be far more important than some buck some idiots poached.

puffy Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Re: i cant believe this I also can't stand slobs like that. I think Rossman's idea is good, if your local department is able to do something like that. Get out there and let the air out of another buck it definately beats sitting at home. I believe that if something doesn't kill ya it can only make you stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
