Turkeygirl Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Ok, this is really really weird. I know foxes and raccoons are still in season but for you NYer's, this is weird. I'm driving over to college this morning and as I drive pass this patch of trees along the road I live on, I see a dead animal, which is rare on our road. I turn around and go back, pull over, and get out. I find a farely freshly skinned raccon, all the skin gone except for on the paws. I tehn find an unskinned raccoon, an unskinned fox, and two huge steelhead salmon, the steelhead untouched except that I noticed the one was cut down it's belly. Now last night as I was coming home from an intramural game, on the same road/area someone was spotlighting and when I came down the road they picked up speed really fast and turned down another road. Well I called the DEC Conservation Officers and told a dispatcher who will relay all this to an officer on patrol. I don't know what is going on but what a waste of meat on the steelhead; the one steelhead was the biggest one I've ever seen! Some people just disgrace hunting and fishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted February 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Re: Suspicious activity Well an officer called back while I was in classes and my mom talked to him. He said it sounds like a taxidermist cleaned out his freezer and it is illegal to dump animals like that. He also said the spotlighting is illegal this time of year so if I see anymore questionable activities, aka spotlighting, to call him. I'm going to go show my mom and get a photo so I can post it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted February 1, 2006 Report Share Posted February 1, 2006 Re: Suspicious activity That's always a bummer to see people doing that, I hope a warden catches them in the act and they get what they deserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
