POACHERS!!!! What do you think should be legal!!!

[LightningCrash]

Poachers blow, according to my dossier.

Have had poachers take my game as well. I was pissed but never thought about shooting anyone for it. Its just an animal.

I agree. I love hunting but I will not spend life in prison for murder.

Before they left, I reminded them to read the NO Trespassing signs placed EVERY 100 yards on my entire 160 acres!! This is what the sheriff and game ranger instructed that I do.

You might want to double check that 100 yards.

From what I understand it is every 50 feet

100 yards/50 feet.......I can't remember. This was in 1980, and I have sold that farm off around or about 1986/87. I dang sure had it posted all the way around that property. Would be kinda hard to dismiss in a court of law.

Bottom line....stay in touch with the County Sheriff's Office and the Game Warden!!

A friendly piece of advice; be careful with what you say. Comments like that can get you perma-banned from this forum.

Such comments may also be used against you. People aren't near as anonymous as they think they are online.

If you murder a poacher, you could be out in as little as eight years. The secret is, don't gut him and don't eat him.

There is no season on poachers so I don't think I'd take a shot at them.

Here's a t-shirt for ya...

I caught some poachers on my ranch one time. I relieved them of their rifles, told them to call the sheriff and I would be waiting for them at his office.

So, ya still got the rifles? Poachers should be poached in court. Can't stand them.

First let's clear some things up...... I said...."If it were me he should has sent some rapid fire rounds their way." I meant in the way of warning shots to let them know someone else was there watching them. Of course. Only if you knew where the bullet would go. Not blindly fireing toward a public road.

Second, if there ever was a need to defend yourself the first call should be to a LEO. I would never try to cover anything up.

To Maximus. What do you mean by do I agree with OP????? Do know know what you are meaning???

BTW. I am neither a hunter or land owner. I own my house in town but that is it. I just enjoy some recreational shooting. The poaching incidents were from a Thanksgiving discussion at my Father In Law's.
Thanks,
