Texan_Til_I_Die Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Re: poaching I agree that a camera is probably your best weapon. I've even gone as far as photographing (or videoing) vehicles when I find them parked in suspicious places. That works pretty well if the owner of the vehicle is up to no good and they know you're getting their license numbers. Seems to help keep them away.

sasksheds Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Re: poaching In one spot I hunt,I post my father up in the truck about 800 yards away on the road.He sits there & watches every night weather I'm there or not.Road hunters know this big buck is there & keep trying to get a crack @ him.The land is all posted & My buddies house & cattle are within 500 meters.So their laim excuse of I can shoot in the ditch doesnt hold up.Esp. with the wardens.My brother works with the Wild life fed here in town & also @ a local hunting store.He over heard these two guys,that he knows fairly well, talking about this buck & this"guy" who sits in the truck @ the end of the road & that they were going shoot the buck.Well my brother tore a strip off of them & by the time he explained that this guy was his father & their would be charges laid against them or anyone else that decided to"POACH" that deer.Yes i said poach because thats what they would have to do to get that deer.Just once I'd like these jerks to think!Maybe the land owner posted his land because he & his buddies are hunting there.The ownly cover we have is some round bails that we sit behind.The road hunters or the deer cant see us from the road.To heck if I want someone shooting into the field while I'm sitting there.Keep @ it!I think my brother got rid of @ least 2 idiots.The traffic actually seemed to drop off a bit after he had his "Talk" with those guys.

firefighter Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Re: poaching I hunt on leased land, and the game wardens have setup a trap to catch poachers. On the average they have been catching 4-5 people a day shooting from their cars at decoys that the wardens have setup. Needless to say we allow this warden to turkey hunt on the property,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smo Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Re: poaching In the county where I live I'd say at least 75% of the locals kill deer illegally. It really ticks me off, but we've got only one warden for the whole county and 75% of the citizens doing it. Really under staffed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Xen Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 Re: poaching well, keep trying from a safe distance - some people don't have any problems breaking the law as long as they don't get caught - you'd have to wonder if the guy has any problems killing a deer illegally, would he have any problems shooting or killing a person to keep from getting arrested?? be safe, think of yourself and your family - don't confront them about it, get a good zoom lense for your camera and send in pictures, let the law confront them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
