I'm not naive but apparently you cant or wont read. I challenged you to prove that it goes on any more than the usual poaching that has always gone on!

As for the story about your neighbor, you are part of the problem! Turn his butt in. Let the WCO sort out the problem. Your excuse that he'll just say his grandson shot it is a cop-out. Even if charges don't stick the first time,he knows that a WCOcould be there sniffing around and will be less likely to do it again. Instead of helping catch a poacher, you want to penalize law abiding kids. Sounds just like the mentality of the gun control crowd! Someone might abuse something so lets penalize everyone by passing a law that probably won't stop the real outlaws anyway!
