Title: Saved from being poached
Post by: boneaddict on November 02, 2012, 03:12:50 PM: Since I introduced the guy to this site........he now knows what I know..... He was watching this buck when I came up on him. Eagles gave his secret away the next day. I thought he and his wife were really nervous, especially when he saw I had all those cameras. This one will live to see another day.

If the guy who I introduced to this site decides to log on and check it out, then he can squirm a bit. No riddle, just part of the story. Enjoy this buck, he is still out there happy as can be spreading his genes, which appear to be fairly good.

Title: Re: Saved from being poached
Post by: crazysccrmd on November 02, 2012, 03:32:31 PM: Bone introduced a guy to the site who saw his previously posted pictures of this awesome buck. Said guy was caught in the act of attempting to poach it by Bone. At least that's the way I understood it.

Title: Re: Saved from being poached
Post by: boneaddict on November 02, 2012, 03:38:37 PM: I came upon him and his wife looking at this buck. They left. They left behind a present I didn't find until the next day compliments of bald eagles. Another buck, gutted and abandoned. Photos of tracks, deer, coordinates of deer, description of vehicle and people and the statement of the conversation forwarded to the proper authority. Does that make it easier for everyones brain? This buck was bigger, so I assume they were thinking about upgrading.
Title: Re: Saved from being poached
Post by: Elkslayer on November 02, 2012, 03:39:17 PM: Sounds like he poached a different one right before Bone came upon him. Then because he and his wife were acting so nervous Bone went and investigated later on the next day! :tup:

Post by: h20hunter on November 02, 2012, 03:41:26 PM: Cool pic of him scratching.....really neat angle.

Do you have a straight on or away look at this buck. I am trying to estimate size of animals and this looks like a good one to practice on.

Thanks

Hopefully you won't suffer the accusations and villification from the masses with pitchforks who think you should mind your own business at risk of getting your ass kicked and suffering lawsuits.

Great photos.

Post by: Special T on November 02, 2012, 09:48:31 PM: What bone reminded many of you to do is when you go out into the wilderness BRING YOUR FREAKING CAMERA! It can make a case for MANY situations this just happens to be one of them!

Title: Re: Saved from being poached
Post by: C-Money on November 05, 2012, 03:35:08 PM: To bad a deer was wasted. Glad you were able to connect the dots for the authorities. Hope they can make a strong case and punish these people IF guilty. Great photos Bone.

Post by: Jonathan_S on November 05, 2012, 05:06:46 PM: Glad he was there. I can't wait to catch another poacher. Not that I want there to be a poacher but I know there are poachers and I want them in jail and 10 bull points for me
