We hunted by bear lake years ago and noticed a few poachers in the area. We let the authorities know but they said they only had 1 game warden for a huge area and would let him know. I really liked the area, it should have been better hunting. Taking a four point would have been easy but I never did see anything worth killing. We didn't have the special tag, just the OTC tag. That was about 10 years ago so I hope it's better now.
