If it's about poaching does it matter which forum it's in? I sorta like the stories of people dealing with poachers,if they can come to a solution it's even better! If he has had trouble with the same folks before then LEO's need to be involved so there's record and they can establish a pattern and work up some kind of indicment.If one of them has tried his hand at whipping you and it didn't work first time be careful of next time,he might tilt the scales more in his favor with a weapon! Good luck and work with the law on this one!
