I'm really surprised that the game warden did not do more then just issue a citation, especially considering that they were caught with a deer at night.

Most game wardens are extremely hard on poachers, especially when they catch them redhanded. Two years ago the local game warden stopped me at one of my ranch gates and told me that he had been seeing a black ford pickup every evening parked next to my gate on the west side of the ranch. The warden told me that he knew I didnt let many people hunt the ranch and had a pretty good idea that this guy was poaching. After I told the warden that I did not know anybody that drove that type of truck, he told me that he would do me a favor and catch him with in the next week. Well true to his word, he set up a little "sting" and caught the guy shooting at a robo deer on my ranch. The poacher argued with me for about 10 minutes that I did not own the ranch, and that he had 100% permission to hunt there LOL. Well any way, the poacher ended up lossing his rifle, his hunting lic., and had to pay a couple thousand dollar fine, plus he had to pay me because I pressed charges on him. If it wasent for that warden, I probably never would have known that there was a guy hunting my ranch almost every night.

If I were you, I would bother that game warden to the point that your annoying him until he does something (other then issue a warning) to end your poaching problem.

By the way, do you need any help with your axis, fallow, and aoudad problem?? hint hint lol j/k
