Fairly certain I just saw some shady deer shooting
« on: October 22, 2019, 05:40:58 PM »
Here I am sitting watching a field for deer and gaizing at a couple nice bucks way long ways off through my spotter. This rig pulls up, looks them over and drives on. A red minutes later I hear a shot out there and turn my spotter back. To see a dead buck in the field and the truck racing out into the field. They stop and 3 guys jump out and throw it in the back and then race away. Pretty *censored* in this area.

That stuff boils my blood! Used to see shoot and drags all the time over in the palouse. And people wonder why it's hard to get private access these days >:(

Not dirt I have any permission on or say in. I don’t even know who owns it. No much to go on. Send a pm if you want location.

ok i'm pretty confused right now...I see a pic of a truck with a couple guys near the back.  someone posting they think they saw something "shady" but they can't say who owns the land  or even confirms they have permission to hunt on it....a lot of stuff need clarification.

Pretty obvious they are up to no good..no orange, no time for pics, no gutting, ...like Karl said...shoot and grab ... before the land owner knows what's going on they are gone...

wow...can you please tell me what type of PC you have to be able to see and discern all of that info you have ?  all I see are a couple guys at the back of a truck.  OP says they don't even know who owns the land ????  I may be totally wrong but cant glean much information from the post

I'd definitely call it in and offer the pics/location. Someone from that house in the back may have seen it and this could corroborate the story. It may get you some poacher points too, why not?

It was very clear these guys shot the buck from the truck on a public road. They also tore into and out of that field in a hurry and were running around loading the deer. The land is in a trust so no I don’t know who owns it.

No PC but reasonable suspicion based on the information I have and pretty sure the local gamie would agree.. enough to stop and I'd the truck and occupants....at a minimum contact the house in the area to find the property owner. Because alot of times property owners don't know a crime was committed until they are notified...or I guess you can turn a blind eye to possible criminal activity, let them continue to poach and tresspass, and live in your secluded little world..to each there own.

all I ways saying was with the OP there was no way a reasonable person could determine what was possibly going on.  pics of a couple guys behind a truck, misspelled words and a confusing story.  OP said its trust land so it's not private.  He never said in the first post where the shot came from.  its obvious they are not wearing hunter orange but there is no way to tell what they are doing.  He finally verified that in his last post after I said I was confused as to what was happening.  and yes I will continue to live in my secluded little world not assuming what other people are doing until I have proof of that.  I don't turn a blind eye to criminal activity but I don't spout what I think is happening without some facts.  Reasonable suspicion my ass...if a reasonable person read the original post they would be as confused as 99.9% of the rest of us are

I just made an online report. Hopefully someone else witnessed it and did also, or they contact me.
