Hardwood_HD Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 anybody heard about this? there was a good write up about it in the Columbus Dispatch today, the DNR confiscated 34 deer racks/mounts, 14 coons, 2 turkeys and a beaver that have been poached, they also found high powered rifles and spot lights used for night hunting. There was 5 guys fined and doing jail time. The front page of the paper had a picture of a buck they shot and just cut off his rack and left the rest... its too bad that some people are like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosierhunter47 Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Re: Ohio pochers caught great story but sad to hear ......to bad alot of that goes unnoticed. This brings up two different points of view...one...its great to catch poachers but it also gives hunters a bad name, i can understand why people say ..."all you people do is go out and kill innocent animals"...i say no these kind of people do, I dont!!!..great story but sad to see it.
