« on: September 07, 2010, 07:37:21 AM »
anyone here about the poacher that was cought saturday night up cub creak rd in winthrop. im not gona say how i know or who called on this DB. but was just wondering if anyone heard it in the media. no points are going to be collected for this. familys personal safty is not worth any amount of points.

UPDATE

found out today that the guy got off scott free by faking a heart attack, even though he had weed and an untagged buck.

On saturday/sunday night I made my way down the road to a neighbors house just off of Twisp River Road and saw a truck spotlighting the alfalfa fields.

I would norc out the rat *censored*.  :bash: :bash: :bash: Then pray he would come to my house to pick a fight so I could poach him for trespassing.  Spotlights work great on humans too :chuckle:

Were these the guys with the two racks on the hood, at about the 2500 ft level?  We drove by there about 4.

Glad they caught the *censored*.

Let's not confuse poaching with spotlighting.  Unless it is illegal in WA?  :dunno:   I hate poaching, but when I lived in Idaho we often went out spotlighting.  It was a great time to look at bucks and the neat thing was that my little girls and wife could come along and see them too.  I never had a weapon in the vehicle and if a landowner didn't like it we avoided that area.  Also, on a sidenote an Indian shooting like 20 elk a year on NF land is Poaching IMO.

You bring up a very good point. Simply shinning a light into a field or onto an animal is not spotlighting. Spotlighting requires you to have an artificial light as well as some type of weapon. You would be perfectly legal driving on roads and shinning a light out into a field without having a weapon. Now I will admit that Okanogan County is definitely known for the illegal type of spotlighting throughout the year.
