I view poaching in two ways.. The kind that is being discussed here is the worst kind and they should be dealt with accordingly. I think you should definitely call your local game officials.. If you need help with retaliation problems.. I will be more than happy to drive out and bounce a few a-holes like that.
According to state law any deer shot out of season is considered poached as well. In bloomsburg where I used to hunt on a regular basis one guy was prosecuted for poaching because he shot 2 deer out of season so he could feed his family. I dont think the guy should have been fined as much as he was.
That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard for shooting a deer out of season. He's too broke to buy food, but he has the money to own a high powered rifle and the ammo?!? Why not just sell the damn gun if you're that broke. That was probably just him trying to tug at someone's heart strings to get some sympathy. Poaching is poaching...I would not be afraid of those guys and if it were my property this was happening on I'd put a stop to it immediately
