What am I going to do to stop poachers? Not much.

If I catch them in the act and can record them breaking the law or get a picture I will and let the law do its thing. If someone steals my stand, I won't be happy, but that is why I wait for the $80 hang ons to go on sale for $30 at the end of the year at D-icks. I've worked very hard to put myself into a position where losing a trail camera or treestand or whatever isn't going to create a major set back. I also don't leave anything in the woods I'm not afraid to lose. I protect my stuff as much as I can, but if somebody really wants it, they will get it.

If I can catch them doing it, I'll report it. If they try to hurt me, I'll give as good as I get, but that is an absolute last resort. I'm no good to my wife and kid if I'm not around.
