[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1092247, member: 5412"] Yes, it was...Kind of. the statement was made,: The thought crossed my mind to snap a picture of them and their truck to provide to the GW...but I just didn't feel like risking my life for a fish. I suppose I should have called it in, but at the time, I was rather naive to how lucrative the poaching was and didn't feel like ratting someone out for overfishing... __________________ I'm not going to wander into a group of people that are breaking the law with a camera and start taking pictures. No sane person would do that. But I can take pics with my camera from a long distance, and I would have reported the situation immediatly. If you didn't want to, that is your personal business. You also stated: They had a processing area set up behind a large blue tarp next to their vehicle and I saw one of them carrying a bucket with at least 5 heads in it away from their vehicle towards a fire where they were burning the bodies. Why would they burn the bodies when they could just be thrown back into the river to wash up somewhere else in this day and age of DNA testing. The eggs would point right to the ones burnt? I don't know. I wasn't there so I can't pass judgment, but with this thread, I'm sure the wildlife department is looking into it if they weren't already. I'm one that believes the wildlife in this state/country is here for the legal enjoyment of its citizens. If somebody want to come in and poach, taking game that shouldn't be theirs to take, I don't lose a minute of sleep turning them in. Its not about protecting a fish...its about protecting a resource.
