RE: Game Camera
i guess i worded my question wrong....
I meant to ask how you know this guy is a poacher. Did you see or hear him poach anything? Do you know him personally? Etc... He could be a photographer! LOL
You did what i would do though! Good job!
Good luck

RE: Game Camera
It was a 15 ft. ladder stand with nylon straps, 2 tier at the top one for sittin' and one for your feet. The friend that was with me had purchased one for his daughter last year and it cost him $130. My camera was like $120 after shipping so I guess one-upped him. But it' s not like a trade I " chose" though...

RE: Game Camera
i guess i' d double and triple check with the land owner to make sure he doesn' t know whos stand it is and that he didn' t give them permission to hunt his land....then i' d do exactly the same thing....or i' d wait in the bushes and take a pic of him and give it to the sheriff.
...either way i probly woulda done the same thing....

RE: Game Camera
didn' t have time to wait and catch him myself. Had to go home (4 hours away). I checked with the owner before I took it down and again afterwards. If something happens and it was a goof, it just gives me another excuse to go out there for another weekend 
BUT, the owner was positive it shouldn' t have been there... funny thing tho, his wife told us that this other stand we had found wasn' t supposed to be there so we took it down too but just put it in the bushes cause we didn' t want to lug it around. Found out later from the owner that it was his friend' s [
] So I have to go put that one back up. But he KNOWS the other one wasn' t supposed to be there.
Poachers ruined my hunt last year (my VERY first one), it' s not going to happen this time! [:-]
