I watched multiple times as hunters (three in no orange) actively poached deer this year. A Doe with two Fawns (one they missed that escaped, 5 shots total) by two guys in no orange at last light on my neighbors property (only there in the summer), they took out the back-straps and left everything else where it lay. They saw me above them on their way out and both scoped me, I hightailed it out of sight then followed their headlamps (trespassed on my property) to their rigs, got both their plates. A small 2 pt. a guy shot off the road and left to waste after he got up to it. I stumbled on his rig the next day on my way home and asked if he got a deer, said he hadn't seen any, also got his plate. A different guy in no orange hopped my neighbors fence again and missed a spike, then got on his dirt bike and was out of the country.
Reporting all incidents with my buddy who witnessed all but the spike, but I'm doubtful anything will be done.

Didn't see any illegal harvests but I didn't spend much time in there.

Disappointing season to say the least.

Please report all, its the right thing to do, hopefully with the evidence you have as far as plates etc. something will be done to these folks, rest assured if they were doing the same to wolves, cats,bears etc(you know were I,m going) they would be all over it like flys on a fresh pie. Good job, keep us posted :tup:
