There is problems around Kansas with poaching too. People don't tresspass all that much, they just drive down the roads looking for deer. Last year I found over 20 dead deer, and am sure several of them were poached.

A big problem is the out-of-state hunters. They just drive down the roads all day long, and go by my hunting spots about 2 miles an hour looking for deer. Last year we caught some tresspasser on my grandfathers land. Three fancy trucks from down south parked right next to the gate on opening day, exact same place that we were about to hunt. My grandfather got in their faces, scared them pretty bad, and threatened to call the sheriff(which he most likely wouldn't have done since it would've took over an hour to get one at that spot in the boonies). He said $100 a person or he'll call the sheriff. With 8 guys he got a few bucks, and haven't seen them since. Funny thing was that when he came up to them my grandfather said "Who gave you guys permission to hunt here"? The guys said "My grandfathers name". Then he got fired up and said "The hell if I did". Was about the madest I've seen him.

I know a few local farmers who don't have gates on their land, so people in the feilds at night looking for bucks. So they tied barbwire across the opening of the feild about waist high. The poachers don't know it's there and in the middle of the night it's tough to see. So them poachers come out of there with some nice scratches on their hoods.
