Seems odd a bowhunter would have a problem with trapping. Most appreciate coyotes getting thinned out. Probably an anti on a hunting site and made the whole thing up.

I don't know...about 18 years ago, I was checking traps and my dad was along. I'd caught a small bobcat in a coyote set. this was at 8:30 am.

as we approached the 'cat, a bowhunter came out of the woods and said it's a good thing we came by when we did, because he was getting ready to "put it out of its misery" with a broadhead.

Idjet!

there was no open season on cats at the time.

Dad and I released it unharmed.

Crossing State lines to commit a wildlife crime may be a Federal Lacey Act violation. Whether or not you have to take the wildlife back across the State line I'm not sure about.

Well hopefully he can get prosecuted. It would be a happy ending to a story. So many trappers take a beating and justice is hardly ever served. If they would start prosecuting to the fullest extent of the law things like this would be less common. I'm sure theres a pile of no, no's here but when it's all said and done half of more will get dropped and he'll get a slap on the wrist.

He's been reported. To authorities and the moderators of archery talk. Nothing will happen of course but it chaps my hind end.

Hopefully something does happen. If it doesn't it's outright ridiculous. He broke alot of laws and bragged about it on a public forum. The proof is already there, all law enforcement has to do is follow up.

Trouble is that he lives in Ohio and this happened in PA. They will probably have to wait until they can get him in the state, if they get off their arses and do anything at all.

That's the kind of case where the Feds come in. That would make me really worry; the Feds...much worse consequences if they were to pursue the case and prosecute.

Was his real identity figured out or just the forum info?

Sorry I have not posted much on this. I was hunting when I saw his post and told him he was wrong and then made this thread. Then had some deer come in and shot a doe so I been busy taking care of her. It really chaps my arse that he did what he did and thought it was fine.

Just seen the post where an admin said there was no harm no foul! So i guess poaching is not a foul unless it is a deer
