MCH Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Everytime I read the Rifle Deer Kill posted in the paper, being from a small county where everyone knows everybody, it never fails, you can always spot the poachers. There's always the guy that every member of his family kills a deer. From his wife that would never in her life harm an animal, to his daughter who's never shot a gun, to his son that has no interest in deer at all. And guess what?? Always on the last report, his name shows up? Can you imagine the luck? Talk about coming down to the wire. Today's guy? His wife harvested a 165 lb 8 point. To make things worse, he lives within 2 miles of me. No need calling the game warden. Been there done that. He's been caught several times. Slapped on the wrist, fined, and even got off scott free a few times. Sorry guys, just had to rant a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griz Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Re: Just makes me sick..... Scum! That's what I think of people like that... Poachers are nothing but a bad breed and should be taken out... Permanently!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Just makes me sick..... Some of them kind around here too. Used to work with a boy who bragged about tagging out his grandad and all his relatives that would let him get tags in their names. Unless the warden can prove who shot the gun, unfortunately it is a losing battle trying to stop these type poachers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beagleboy Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Just makes me sick..... Funny my brother in-law and father-in-law hunt regularly but seems like my mother-in-law always shoots a nice buck and I've never seen her go out with them!! There is always a loophole to every system where people take advantage of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joebobhunter4 Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Just makes me sick..... when i was 13 my grandpa had a muley buck tag out in the badlands and he wasnt in good conditions and couldnt get around in the buttes... so he said i could shoot it for him he was back at the cabin.... so i walked out from behind the house (with my dad) and sat on a butte and shot an alright 4x4 that is on my wall now... was the wrong or not?

QDMAworks4me Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Just makes me sick..... I can understand the frustration that you are going through, there are a lot of people around here who shoot a lot of deer a year on other peoples tags, if they tag them at all. I hate that because that is why many people write on here that they do not see any deer in the woods. If everyone followed the laws there would be a lot more deer in the woods and honestly who could not go out and shoot everything they see. I think that it takes the fun and sport right out of it.

rockefeller66 Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Re: Just makes me sick..... around here they usually aren't too hard on the locals but we just turned in 8 out of state poachers and the DNR is cracking down on them, maybe you can keep going to the DNR or whatever you got and they'll finally "hit" him a little harder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
