Now before everyone on here comes after me, if he were caught in the woods dragging them out by a DEC officer well then thats the breaks and you take your lumps.
Just because the DEC didn't catch him it's OK?
He appears to be laying low and is probably somewhat ashamed at this point (or at least he should be).
Or he is out poaching for another buck.
What will reporting him accomplish at this point?
Keep it from happening again. If nothing happens to him this time why shouldn't he shoot 2 bucks a day every year?? Getting away with it will only encourage him to do it again. Rules and laws are for all of us. I passed on 5 slam dunk kill shots on bucks with my bow in NY this year because I already filled my tag. I could have killed 6 bucks with my bow this year and I never saw DEC once. I filled 4 tags and butchered all my deer myself. I could very easily not tag anything and get away with it because I cut up my own...........BUT I DIDN'T because I follow the game laws which I believe are in place for a reason. You get tags for a reason.......if you don't have a tag for the animal in front of you........you damn well better not kill it.
By the way I can't stress enough....I do not condone his actions, I think he is wrong, I wish he were caught right from the start.
So why would you care if he is caught now?
We are supposed to be "buds" on this board.
I don't make friends with poachers.
