RE: POACHERS
I'd bet that the landowner only fired shots to scare them and wasn't trying to shoot them.
Poachers really suck. Last season I found 2 dead deer with the horns sawed off at my hunting spot.
What fun would that be to brag about a deer you illegally shot? There is no story to be proud of behind that.
Kind of like fenced in ranch hunting. Thats not hunting, thats pretend hunting...
