Poaching deer, and "poaching" antlers are two completely different things. Don't get me wrong: I don't support either.

This country was founded by law breakers breaking the law. And history is full for heroic law breakers. Maybe these antler poachers see themselves as modern day William Wallace or Francis Marion
I heard somewhere that Joe watt had caught a couple guys with transmitters on antlers. Not sure why oak creek and other places wouldn't do it too. The winter ranges in Montana do it too. I've heard of people hiking and even on horses already being caught in oak creek and more on cameras. There's also a rumor of someone pulling 100 antlers out of there this year. That one seems a little far fetched because of the amount of bulls still packing. With all the antler poaching going on this year Im thinking ill be at Joe watt this year. Those that know me know that I put in a lot of miles in the spring shed hunting. What eyes in the woods is trying to do I fully support. The areas are closed therefore its wrong and illegal for people to be there. I enjoy the areas that open on the first. Play by the rules or you should be fined severely.

They drove in from the Rattlesnake side, went up to the top and came out the main gate at Oak creek @ 8:00 am. They were fined $100 per shed. There's also been a knucklehead on a tracked quad all around the. Nile, Gold Creek , Bald Mt area.

Been hearing of people going into wenas from the 1701 side as well. Also seen where that idiot was driving all over with tracks. He drove right over the berm in the nile.
