My monster was poached

Don't fool yourself into thinking that paoching wouldn't happen when someone is hmoe. Poachers work at all times of day. Could happen at night while you're all sound a sleep.
I hate to even guess how much paoching goes on around our family farrm. It sucks!

Rifle season doesn't start until this coming saturday and the entry hole was made by a bullet. Only sixty some deer were killed will a bow last year in my county. Archery is not at all popular around here. Most people hunt from their pickup.
That didn't take long for someone to question me.

and dont take it personally...i just wanted more info...you just said the deer was gutshot. some (not pointing this at you) have the notion that if a deer shows up dead on their property it must have been poached....so i wanted to make sure.

I know last year I went to the Feed Mill one of my neighbors was in there before season.She says there was a nice Buck killed off your place the other day.I asked what did it get hit by a Car? No it was shot [:@]Truth around here you can't get much done unless they are caught doing it.

First, I am very sorry to hear about your buck. What a shame poachers are rediculous.
Second, I am going to look into this and find the article, but several years ago(maybe like 10) A guy got caught poaching deer in Valley Forge Park, which is a national park here in PA. And I think he got life in prison to be 100% honest. I dont think it was one case of poaching, think they linked him to some rediculous amount, but I need to do some reasearch when I can. If i find it ill post it. They do not take poaching lightly in national/federal parks. Not that they do elsewhere but obviously their not out looking for them 24/7.
sorry again about your buck. Go find his daddy.
