Default RE: Poacher gets caught with a NICE deer(pics)

good point, i had to think on that one..
from what i hear and see, lot of times kid/kids accompany these people.
so, they are learning trick of trade,so to speak..

its like i WARNED what would happen when they made that horn rule 3 points to side on buck but not for kids 12/16.

bucks are being left go by us as they are not 3 points to side,along comes crew driving with or without kids along.

they shoot at ANY deer,they dont even look for 3 points as they have KIDS along or KIDS TAGS along..

dont think for 1 minute this is not being done.it is....

it should be 3 POINTS to side for all of us then it would stop this buying of KIDS TAGS to be used by the adults to kill any buck they see..

this RULE is not bringing into woods more kids to hunt,it just another way to make money by the PGC.
if hunters were HONEST with kids along hunting, i would back program 100%,but that is REAL WORLD we are in..

its not fair or good management of buck to allow young bucks to be shot by dads/uncles/cousins/friends then have kid put his tag on it or tag it with kids tag...

3 year ago i stopped at 70 yr old hunter,he only shoots bucks with 3 points to side rule..

he saw a buck come out but could not see the 3rd point,he left buck walk.
then 40 yds away he heard, bang, he went over and there was dad with the buck.

he said,THAT BUCK DOES NOT HAVE 3 POINTS TO SIDE..

the DAD then said,OH, MY SON SHOT IT.

where was his son, in truck with heater on no where near the buck..
this is happening with crews that drive deer also, with kids along, ITS BROWN ITS DOWN..

we have got to put stop to this,its not fair for us honest hunters that are playing by rules,way to stop it is 3 POINT RULE FOR ALL OF US.............

I'll give you that it probably happens. OCCASIONALLY!!

Do you have any real proof that this is anything other than a miniscule percentage of the junoir bucks that get tagged?

In the absence of proof, you sound like someone who's merely jealous that a kid can shoot a buck that you have to pass up. Thats truly a shame!
