RE: Botched poaching attempt
Nobody in MN even looks at our deer when we take the to a registration site! It really makes me mad!

Nobody looks at your deer in Illinois for the past 2 years now. You call in by phone. They ask a few questions like length in centimeters from the tip of the hoof to the dew claw, etc. After you call in they give you a confirmation number for you to write on your leg or antler tag. I guess they do check deer in certain countys for CWD though. Used to drive to a check station where they would try to age your deer, wrap a check station tag through the leg, ask a few questions if your seen turkeys, coyotes, bobcats, etc. Then give you the harvest pin. Last year they mailed the pin to you. This year you had to find out who has them and go pick them up yourself. I understand even non-hunters were able to get the pins. Kinda takes the fun out collecting them....what a bunch of tight a$$'s

That is just what the anti's need is more of that. I hate poachers and I will do anything to stop them. If someone needsfood these days there is alot of help. Hell I will give them my deer,we have a bad rash of poaching going on around here , they just shoot and run ,leave the deer laying. What a waste. Good job on taking a deer that would of died of infection. You know I consider my hunting rights to be a privledge not a right so I treat it that way.

I just don't understand what goes on in these people's heads....? It's just poor moral value I guess. You did the right thing by putting him down.
