Sproul,
we've gone round and round over this issue and although I agree that the potential exists for abuse, I really think you're blowing it way out of proportion.
I do beleive that you beleive it's going on and I'm trying to give you a fair chance to convince me and everyone else here that the problem is as big as you say it is. Your description of things you've experienced indicate that you have vivid powers recollection so this request should be easy for you.
Tell us the details of the situations where you have DIRECT knowledge of a dad using the kids tag on a sub AR deer. When, where, who, rack size of the buck involved and was it reported and did the WCO pursue it. What were the results with the WCO? Were the parties prosecuted?
For now, lets just hear the stories where you have some personal knowledge. I'm asling you to leave out the barroom stories that we all hear andlimit it to what you would be willing to testify to if called upon to do so.
I'll promise to do my best to read it all with an open mind....I invite you to convince me!
Fair enough?
i talked to WCO last week and asked him to set up the robo deer again.
i said they are shooting out windows at 530 am to 8am .
do you know they shoot deer at 530 without spotlight?
they use snow,deer stick out, yes, they are not worried about if it has horns or not.
i also told him i feel the poachers are not shooting deer in woods now, they are doing it next to homes and privateland do to lack of deer in woods,times are around 10to 12pm.
i also ASKED him to stop hunters and tell them you have reports of the adults shooting spikes etc then having the junior hunters tag itwhile driving the deer,i believe most of violations are hunters in crews driving deer.
maybe you did not read to close,did i not say they caught a POACHER in hyner,pa with spotlight .sadly, they
could not get him for shooting a deer but we know he got a huge 5 point before.
only thing you are right on is, I HAVE NOT SEEN IT HAPPEN ,only what i FEEL is happening from info i hear.
do you know some carry hacksaws to cut deer horns off if not 3 point to side,yes, THAT WAS REPORTED TO WCO, NOT BY ME BUT BY A PERSON WHO SAW IT.
soooooooooooo,what else do you want me to do, stand on my head.
