]]> Comment on Buck’s Stomach Contents Help Convict Wyoming Poachers by Big Tex http://www.gameandfishmag.com/2012/02/17/bucks-stomach-contents-help-convict-wyoming-poachers/#comment-480019 Big Tex Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:51:08 +0000 http://www.gameandfishmag.com/?p=24931#comment-480019 The story does not explain WHY this was poaching. Shooting a deer at point X instead of Point Y is not in itself poaching. Was the hunting season closed on the Greybull area and open in the Black Hills? Were they on private land where they did not have permission to hunt? Did Blakemore not have a permit for the Greybull hunt area? And since Blakemore apparently was convicted of actually killing the animal, what were the other two charged with? The story does not disclose that information. The story is skimpy on important details. Who among us always tells exactly where we killed a big buck? I know few hunters who do, but not coming clean with a warden is foolish. You may not want to broadcast to the whole world where your top hunting spot is located, but be honest with the warden. FYI: DHMammoths is right. Banning a poacher from hunting just leads to more poaching. That "sentence" of losing hunting rights for a certain amount of time is worthless. Poachers have already demonstrated they will kill illegally if they can't hunt legally. They didn't abide by the game laws in the first place. The story does not explain WHY this was poaching.

Also, there is no doubt they knew they were poaching and wanted to get out of there as quick as they could. No lollygagging around gutting the damn thing. I've heard of poachers taking the tailgates off their trucks just to save a few seconds.
