When is poaching season? Last poacher I got was a scrawny little thing not worth mounting. I've been hoping to get a trophy poacher, you know the kind with one tooth in his mouth and a big ole beer belly, to hang on the wall at the office. And while we're on the subject, is spot lighting poachers legal?

Here in Iowa DNR will put out a decoy with an infrared camera pointing towards the road. They get plenty of pic's of poachers, their vehicles, and license plates that way. Kind of fun to read about them in the newspaper, especially the part where they end up forfeiting their vehicles, guns, get heavy fines, jail time, and then the meat goes to food pantries.
