douge, guy we were after shot a big buck and cut horns off.

we could not catch him but we found deer and know he did it.

we set up and caught him a week later spotlighting AFTER hrs.

but they could not take his gun because it was A PISTOL, THOMPSON CONTENDER 223.

this was all told to me by a deputy friends.

you said about poachers doing this before the new law, yes, you are right.

sorry i got off topic.
