Constructive thread. Not a thread to get folks worried
. Or stir pot too bad. BUT- a real topic!!!!! To stop a poacher- need to know what they doing. & yes- try to think like them. But some don’t think too deep in most my experience. 1) what’s most common poaching methods & scenarios u think happen? 2) what do u do to solve & aid in reduction? My own experience …… -Seen a lot of dudes shooting from vehicles. A LOT!!!!!! I chased a dude on foot after getting out my tree stand when he was rifling during evening. -We busted dude who shot em off road & came back in middle of night to cut heads off. This has been a plague multiple times. -then next tier we clearly can go to bait, trespassing, etc. BUT….. wanna chat about the “worst of worst”. Do I wonder if a tiny % would poach with other technologies I won’t list? Sure. I think it’s slim but maybe I’m naive. I have cams at all places anyone would enter on me. All my road frontage is screened. Can’t get a bullet in!!!!
I’m there all the time. We watch. So- it’s not bad but still happens. I’ve never been in a neighborhood in any state where don’t take place. I’m not gonna sit there & worry to death about it but do wanna solve when an issue. I feel like cameras have helped a lot. But the dumb dumbs with guns in truck still rank as my #1 today. Maybe I’m off???? What’s most common method y’all seen? What’s worst? SOLUTIONS?!?!?!? Has it become less common with trail cameras, more folks watching & social media making folks famous?
