I have jacked up several poachers in my day. Best was the guy with California plates who drives up the road on the day before elk season is open with a 2 pt buck in the back of his truck strapped to a 4 wheeler. Got in my truck and followed him to his camp... deer season was not open. When confronted, he tells me " its just camp meat, no harm in that, whats your problem ??" Told him if I had to explain "my problem"... then its pointless.. I drove 60 miles and got the fish and game to follow me back up there. By the time we got back they had pulled up camp and were just leaving... they claimed that they had no idea what I was talking about... "what deer ??" .. When the warden was searching the rigs he finds the rack from this dinky little two point sawed off the head and stuck under the seat of one of their trucks... they had thrown the deer into a creek and covered it with brush....

It gets better... they were arrested for poaching the deer... and to top it off, as they were in their trucks driving down the road when we arrived... and were drunk... two of them were charged with DUI as well..

Hows that for a phone call home to the wife ??? " Honey I was drunk and poached a deer and got a DUI... can you wire me 5 grand for bail..." I wonder if she said she loved him before she hung up ??? I figure that "camp meat " cost them quite a bit.
