RE: NY Conservation Officers
Until the shortage of COs is corrected,
I feel that we as hunters MUST do are part and help the COs out by turning in hunters that are doing wrong and stop looking the other way.
If poachers know that there being watched and will not be ignored by other hunters than they just might be less active. This is what I feel, around my house people know that I don't put up with poaching and will collect all the info I can (pictures, film, car make, number of hunters, or anything else that I can think of at the time) to help the COs catch poachers.
I inturn I see more deer and see less road hunting activity. It is the same with trespassers if you just kick them off than they return but if you have charges brought agents them than they never return.
