What to do about poaching
Every year I find about 3-4 deer poached on or very near to our property in Northern MI. Our property is on the edge of thousands of acres of public land and unfortunately the road to get to the public land goes right through our property and we can't do anything about it. Over the past few years we have started to use food plots, harvest more does, and let the little ones go. However, its very frustrating when all your work goes to waste when people see nice deer and shoot them out of their truck. The buck I found last weekend had a rifle shot right thru the rib cage and rifle season isn't for another 2 weeks. I know some of you are just going to say call the DNR but with just a deer carcass in the woods with a bullet hole in it I can't see them doing a whole lot. Whats the best thing I can do about this?
