    Go down to my land down, just doing some coyote hunting. No luck, get the dog from the truck to do some shed hunting, find a button buck somebody shot from the road this am. Mother truckers.

    Bummer! I hate them too! At least it wasn't a big bodied buck with its head missing. I have seen this twice on pub ground this year. No meat taken off the animal at all!

    :) yes. Kept the deer. Suck it Bishes. Called the DNR officer, told them about a truck that had driven by once, then circled around again. Reason for thinking it was shot from the road, there were no boot prints on our land from the direction where it would have been shot from. But there were some in the ditch. This deer was so fresh that when we gutted him there was still steam coming out and when i was feeling his sides they were still warm.

    I hate scumbag poachers. Glad that you were there to salvage the deer, but it's still a ****ty situation.

    Bass Holes like that really make it just that much more harder for us folk getting tags and permission from land owners,NOT to mention killing a animal just for the kicks n giggles... I say get a barrel nice and hot then lay it right on their privates...

    Good luck with everything.

    Couldnt agree more! We had an almost horrible event with a poacher this year. Still so mad about it gets my blood boiling just thinking about it.

    My Mom/stepdad have 120 acres here in PA. Stepdad was putting the plow on the 4wheeler on the last day of PA rifle. Was snowing bad and her was trying to get a jump on the morning work. They are dog trainers and have amazingly well behaved dogs, who never leave their sight when lose, so thinking nothing of it he had the dogs running lose as he always does. They were barking as always, he would call to them if they wondered to far, and the 4wheeler running when he heard the gun shot...very close and on his land for sure. Long story short, some kid who was sneaking on the land shot at the dog (an Australian Sheppard) claiming he thought it was a coyote, then tried to run away when my stepdad started in his direction. Thankfully he missed the dog, but took us 5 hours in a down pour of snow to track the scared to death dog down. The nerve of some people makes me sick.

    I thought "poachers" actually took something illegally.

    If someone is just driving around shooting deer from the road and leaving them, those are "killers".

    I guess you don't consider shooting a buck fawn off of somebody else's property taking. But that's your opinion.

    No killing deer illegally is poaching. Whether it is from the road or not. There is no place for poachers.
