I live on a back road that's perfect for it and they take advantage of it. As soon as bow season opens on October first, I start seeing lights and the shooting starts. It goes on through the end of gun season in mid November and to a lesser extent for the next ten days during muzzleloader season. I've found bucks with their antlers cut off and does and fawns laying out in the fields where they left them to rot. Who knows how many are wounded and how many they take. I've had the DEC here a bunch of times, but nobody ever seems to get caught. A bunch of the property adjacent to mine belongs to a guy from New Jersey and I've tried to talk him into seeing about getting a mechanical deer set up, but he basically told me to mind my own business. They do the same thing during the spring turkey season. Rifles aren't legal here and neither is shooting from a vehicle, but they do. Nothing is safe. I've seen guys pull up and shoot a hen. I'm scared to use a decoy out in the fields for fear of getting shot and I get nervous whenever a gobbler gets between me and the road.

ODNR put up a robotic buck, 3 properties down the road from my farm, last year. A couple of Winters ago, I had 3 snowmobiles drive across the front of my property, at around 1:00am, with deer strapped on them.

Talk about a slap on the wrist. 1 day in jail, 2 rifles lost and no tags for 9 years. Cases like that is exactly why poaching is a felony here now So no tag for 9 years he's a poacher he will poach!
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

if poachers would kill ALL the deer trapping opportunities would quadruple around here. I wish I knew some so I could buy them some ammo. maybe a light and some gas.

What we have here in Wisconsin is what's known as a big ol' cluster #$%@. Mike, that is about the best description of it I can think of. Zim
