RE: poaching
Eric dont get mad about the replys to this post.I mean that is a sore subject to us law abiding hunters.I see from your posts that you know it is wrong and that is what is important,learning from others mistakes.
As for turning him in yes it is for us easy to post words like that but I can see your point about turning your cousin in.It is a shame but seems like in this state when someone tries to do the right thing and get involved by turning in law breakers of any kind you subject yourself to countless court visits where the Ahole does not show up,you have to take off work 6 times,the guy now knows your name and address because the court demands you state it for the record in front of him.Then when its all over some idiot judge fines him $100 and all is well.Probably cost $50,000 to try the case.
I personally tried to turn a poacher in here in Maryland that took a deer in a state park closed to hunting and had the gall to enter it in the big bucks contest.The deer was shot during shotgun season so he was able to check it in and get a tag.Well it turned into a nightmare for me and I refused to help anymore.They threatned to put me in jail......
