I don't like poachers anymore than the next guy but how do you know this was a poaching attempt and not something else.


I agree that the natural assumption would be that someone tried to shoot it,but who really knows.

We have a relatively hard time with poachers around here too. Its tough here though because the WCO's have to cover a large distance whenever you need them so sometimes it takes awhile.

I haven't ran into any poaching incidents this year thankfully, but someone dthrew 3 deer carcasses (missing the hing quarters and cut antlers) into spots where we hunt private land. [:@] What I wouldn't give to be a WCO sometimes.

I swear to god that if I ever came across or met someone who poached I would probably be put in jail for what I did to them!

It sucks that poachers get a way with the things that they do and part of the time the animal ends of suffering, what a shame no way are they even close to being hunters.
