doctari.the reason i asked his methods to try and understand his point of view, you dont need to play moderator here boss...........you are a rarity where i come from, most guys will shoot the first thing with 3" of horn then keep going out looking for the big boy, 4 years ago my neighbor who will remain name-less tried to report a guy who dropped 3 buck running together....his and his families life was threatned b/c of that... you know what it took the DEC 4 Hrs to show up... to the scene, think the hunter stuck around?..nope..
FUBAR. I know that is a huge challenge, and one reason why my buddy refers to the poaching hotline, not as 800-TIPP-DEC, but 800-DEC-JOKE
But I am a rarity. When I call the DEC for LE help, they show up within 30 minutes, if not sooner. Then again, I am on a first name basis with many of the ECOs in Region 9, and they all know me and the quality of my word. Lots of hard work in earning that, and it is something I do not want to ever compromise. As if it were, it would make my efforts in trying to protect our hunting and fishing rights and heritage far more difficult than it already is.
