Poachers really do ruin hunting for everybody. My friend had been going after a big 11 pointer on his land for the last year. He has trail pics of him the last couple of years and has been scouting him, he put in a lot of time into pursuing this buck and that was the only buck he was going shoot this season. Unfortunately he found out a poacher had shot the buck right next to his land the week before opener not to mention another 9 pointer with it. Bummer, he was pissed and I was too. Poachers should be punished hard because they take away from the fair chase of everybody else.
