Buts whats really bad in some areas of WV is poaching is infectious. You see these guys, pulling out really nice 8 and 10pts. (in full velvet). You start thinking to yourself, whats the use. Then gun season comes in and all you see is scrub bucks. You wonder where all the big bucks are. So young hunters, (who started off good), now start trying to convince themselfs that its what you got to do to get a big buck. If they don't kill it,somebody will. There goes the vicious cycle. DNR's genally are underfunded as it is in most states. I bet WV thats an understatement. I know some top notch wardens in Southern WV. They don't take no crap, and are like hounddogs on certain poachers when they get them in thier sights. But its like speeders. So many people doing it, that when someone gets pulled over, you slow down for 200 yards and then resume what you were doing.
