2 more poachers down

2 plus 1 =3
The land that I hunt with my Son in law has lots of turkey. I hadn't got to go yet due to weather and other responsibilities. Last Monday was going to be my first hunt   Clock went off I just turned it off and rolled back over. Maybe the evening hunt. Well my son in law calls about 10 am and says don't go to the farm to hunt. Asked why he told me that the old guy that lives at the end of the road which we always let hunt there had been placing bait and he was hunting that morning and the GW  two trucks came in and found him hunting. Now I'm really mad cause he messed up the the farm that I will not be able to hunt it myself  time for his privileges to end   I did go last Thur to some game land and fished for trout and listed for gobblers   Went 0 for 0 with both fish and turkey

I just wonder what price of the ticket is he got whether its even enough to make poacher think twice or just few bucks that they chalk up to price of poaching

My thought is they really need to crack down on this hard, make it so the cost of poaching is enough to prohibit the practice. I know mistakes can happen on some undetermined boundaries and that needs to be handled a bit different but when it's blatant needs to put an end to it.

Poaching is one of those Zero Tolerance things for me. Would be nice if the SOBs that do that stuff got the book thrown at them every time IMO.

I agree.In montana, poachers are given a slap on the wrist.They should be jailed, but game wardens give them a break for some reason.I don't know why.

Slap on the wrist in my opinion, they'll keep at it.  If your caught poaching and admit to it great but you lose the weapon you killed the animal with.

Cant stand a poacher. Had one that killed 2 birds on 2 different  mornings off my lease. By the time I got to him , he was gone. It was good I did not catch the azzclown.

Great work
Glad they were caught, stinks that it was at the cost of a Gobbler.

[limbhanger777]

Good deal, I wish I could catch some of the guys I see trying to jack birds from the road on my property.

I know when this happened previously they used illegal hunt which carries a $600+ fine. Not sure what they wrote them up for as after the confession the game warden said I could go back home.

Turkeys havent returned.

My definition of poaching is,out of season,out of vehicle, at night,wrong weapon. I think these are serious offenses and should be strictly enforced.
