deerslayer79 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Sat the 23 of Nov. was the first day of Maryland gun season.The morning turned out to be rather dead,no action what so ever,afternoon wasn't,it was rather somewhat sickening.I was sitting on stand covering to small fields,I was also high enough to also see over on the field next door only maybe 200yds away,at about 5:00pm,Iwatched through my binoculars,the jerks next door,3 guys who also have no idea of ethics,decide to open fire on 6 Does crossing between them and a house,dumb yes ,but this part really cooks my nerves,three guys unload on these six does and fired about 12 rounds in 7-10 seconds,deer are jumping,falling down,and crawling trying to make it towards my farms property line,and the woods some 75yds away.All said and done,two deer down and kickin the rest made it to the woods were they came from.I then saw them finish off the two does and load them up,AND NEVER EVEN ATTEMPTED TO TRACK THE OTHERS ,yep,loaded the 2 and went to the truck,never seen them since.I returned sunday Morning and saw no sign of them.

Southerngirl Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 sickening, report them asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 If the 4 other does came onto your property, did you check to see if any wounded deer died in your woods. Seems like the ethical thing to do on your part also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Really is sickening, would be curious if there would be any way to prove they broke any game laws though. Very sad that there are those out there like that and that people mistake those of us who try to do our best to ethically and humanely kill our game. Pretty safe to say there are probably more than just a few of us who have seen or heard similar or heard stories of such in areas where we hunt.

rhine16 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 That is pathetic! Please report them. Also agree with Ranger that it would be ethical of you to check your property for dead deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer79 Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I only found a few blood drops where a couple of them ran across a small ditch to my property,followed on the field edge and lost it after a 100yds or so.went into a trail near the last spot of blood,walked in about 75yds or so but nuffin,sad to say,but MD. DNR said nothing thay could do,isn't the first time I heard that statement for the local DNR guys,shot during legal hours,no laws broke.I even asked the officer to go talk to them or something,he had no real interest it seemed like.

cinch314 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Sad but true but MOST DNR guys arent going to do a darn thing. I've had experience with them myself over poachers and they just dont seem to care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 You said the doe's crossed between them and a HOUSE and they were shooting in the direction of the house. How far away was the house? who owns the house? Did the owners know that the slobs were shooting in the direction of their house? If not i would inform them. Maybe, Just maybe if you push the subject with the home owner dnr might do something...... Did you inform DNR of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kid Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 thats what its like at my place all these deer come running to our field and then when they go into a 40 acre behind our property it doesn't matter what they are they get blasted. it just makes me angry cuz you can't do any deer managing because they shoot any buck they see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChasinTail Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hunting has always been my escape to get away from all the idiots of the world. However, they seem to be ruining hunting too. I have caught so many poachers this year, I dont know which parts of my woods are even huntable still! I hate to hear what these guys did during your hunt! What a shame.

deerslayer79 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Owner of the house/farm are the brother and sister in law of the hunters,the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree if ya know what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Owner of the house/farm are the brother and sister in law of the hunters,the apple doesn't fall to far from the tree if ya know what I mean. That being the case, if it were here, not really anything the wildlife officers could do. Sad thing is someone will likely eventually get hurt, maybe that will be a wake up call to the shooters.
