Re: Poached Deer Pic,

Nice post tclubb2 and welcome to the forums.

My posts were based off of the laws that govern my state. All land that is bordered by any fence is legally posted. Anyone who hunts on posted land in Arkansas without the consent of the property owners (unless they are related ei. children, grandchildren, sibling) is poaching. So here he was poaching as soon as he let the arrow fly.

When it comes to tracking game onto posted property, if the owner refuses permission to recover game shot outside their property then a game warden will accompany the hunter to the downed game without the owners consent and no charges may be filed.

Re: Poached Deer Pic,

Trespassing is trespassing and is illegal by means of the law and if an animals is taken upon tespassing then it is an illegally taken animal, even if the season is in on that animal. I've seen guys go to jail because they couldn't resist a huge buck on someone else's property and shot that deer, later getting caught by DNR and having weapons, vehicle, animal and everything else that was invovled in the unlawful taking of that animal, taken away from them. My other thing is what is the hole in the neck? I thought this buck was shot in the gut and out the restum? It sure does look like a neck shot to me, it's in all three photo's. can you explain that please? I think alot of the negativaty your getting on this topic is due to the fact that someone broke the law and your not taking an further action over it. You've got this kid by the boys and just basically letting him of with a slap on the wrist. I tell you what, if it was me I'd make him rue the day he shot a deer illegally and he'd think twice about doing it again at least on my property. Who's to say he won't try this on someone else's property since you let him off so easily? The next property owner might not be so leniant. I'm off my soap box now. LOL These laws are very strict in NC and Ohio. I don't know if I'd post to much on Penn. if they aren't going to punish for trespassing. This might open the gates for poachers in that state.
