i have ran into a poacher about 2-3 years ago i was lookin for sheds and there was a herd of deer in a field about 100 yards from me they saw me and after 3 minutes went back to eatin not mindin me. so im standin there lookin at the deer not making noise or movin and then they all bolt. im thinkin what the hay and 3 more deer run by. then i see some movement and about 80-90 yards away some dude walkin/joggin with a scoped rifle in his hand. (i live in ohio and its illegal to hunt with rifles) first thing comes to my mind its not deer season and he has a rifle. and stupid me bein about 12 i think. i yell at him and then he ducks and hides. and i run back to my house tell my parents and the people there. and no one beleives me. i was pissed. and the second time my dad shot a deer while we were huntin and in ohio u have the LEGAL RIGHT to go on someones property and get the wounded/dead animal. the guy comes out in a car my dad tells me to stand about 100 yards away and cap him if he pulls on him. (we/everyone has problems with him) he gets in his back seat grabs somehtin wraps it in a shirt then goes to the trunk grabs somethin as he gets closer he has a pistol in one hand and shotgun or rifle. in the other they start arguin and then the guy uncovers the shotgun/rifle and at this time hee sees me with my shotgun already pulled on him and my dad sees this and my dad goes loose on him and the guy runs before my dad hits him or i shoot him. and we leave call the cops and they talk to him. later that night about midnight i wake up to are alarm going off my dad runnin down the steps and shootin at someone breakin in to our house. and thats that. never killed him and dont know who it was or if my dad hit him. but i and everyone else thinks it was the fat dick head farmer that pulled on me and my dad. and early in the week we or i should say i found 5 deer bodies cover in snow drifts while deer huntin by tripping in the open rib cage and falling face first. ends up 5 deer with antlers and tenderloins gon and every thing else there. 2 or 3 by a creeck and 3 more about 50 yards up the tree line
