RE: Poachers !!!
 
we have that problem at one of our farms but we dont know who does it so there is a big field in front of the road and the deer come out in it after dark and they shoot them from the road it sucks especially because we dont know who does it and to beat it all they just leave them laying, last year it was a doe and a fawn

I know Montana has "1800 tip mont" to report illegal acitivity. The caller can remain completley anonymous in reporting poachers etc. You or your Dad might want to look into seeing if your state has that.

I feel your pain. I hunt public land and during the early archery season while I was camping in the wilderness, I would hear rifle shotsstarting at 10pm and ending off at 1am. I have never seen anybody just heard them. At least 10-15 shots a night and I could tell that most were connecting. It was nice during the day I wouldn't see another soul and thought that my chances were good to see some decent bucks b4 the gun hunters shot up the woods....... sadly mistaken. Some people are allowed to hunt all year round and b/c they have the right they take every chance. But even for these people they aren't allowed to discharge a firearm at night.
No cell phone service in the pine forrest where I hunt and about 20min drive to get toa spot where I could get service[>:]. I hate poachers! The conservation officers have taken to digging pits in the natural pastures that are connected to the roads,trust me I've dropped my truck in one while retrieving a deer years ago but it stops thespotlighters from going too far in the bush.They have also taken down bridges so that poachers had less routes out of the woods...... the bridge used to go over the brokenhead river and now people just drive through it. I'm sure demolishing the bridge was well thought out[&o], more pollution for the river and it hasn't stopped anybody from crossing

if you dont want to turn them in have a buddy or someone call and give an anonomous tip, mabey the game commission or whatever it is in your state can catch them in the act. Visual evidence would really help, and chances are if they poaching deer their probably doing other illegal stuff so if you get proof it would help. dont let them push you around its your land not theirs if you show your serious they should leave you alone

I view poaching in two ways.. The kind that is being discussed here is the worst kind and they should be dealt with accordingly. I think you should definitely call your local game officials.. If you need help with retaliation problems.. I will be more than happy to drive out and bounce a few a-holes like that.

According to state law any deer shot out of season is considered poached as well. In bloomsburg where I used to hunt on a regular basis one guy was prosecuted for poaching because he shot 2 deer out of season so he could feed his family. I dont think the guy should have been fined as much as he was.
That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard for shooting a deer out of season. He's too broke to buy food, but he has the money to own a high powered rifle and the ammo?!? Why not just sell the damn gun if you're that broke. That was probably just him trying to tug at someone's heart strings to get some sympathy. Poaching is poaching...I would not be afraid of those guys and if it were my property this was happening on I'd put a stop to it immediately

Poachers suck! I say give-em the shaft! Gold Tip, Easton, Beman, any one of them will do.
