&%^$*&^ Poachers

[perchking]

I was in Wisc over the weekend doing a little bow hunting but mainly setting up some stands for upcoming Shotgun season. My Father in-law owns 14 abandon farm houses in the Washington County area and the majority of the land is still farmed. I went back to this on part of the farm where I usually see some really nice bucks, and low and behold there was a monster just standing on this oak ridge. It was a BIG 10 with mass and height. I watched it with my binocs for a couple of minutes then I decided to run and grab my video camera. It was about a 5 minute drive back to the main farm where my equipment was. I was gone no more than 15 minutes and I didn’t see the buck thinking it just walked away. I drove through a tote road and I saw something from the corner of my eye and right away I knew it was a dead deer. I walked up to it I heard a truck exiting the road on the other side. There it was dead with the head cut off. This honestly happened in a time frame of 20 minutes. I called the CO and gave them the description of the truck and all I know it was a later model white Ford. It looks like the head was cut off with a chain saw. The CO's said they are going to contact all of the taxidermist in the area. I bet that deer went 250lbs... Disheartening knowing that buck had to be poached. Oh yeah it looks like it was shot with a rifle also.

WOW, thats too bad. I hope that the CO's can get a good lead on this case and take those guys down. Them are the guys that ruin it for everyone, no respect for anyone but themselves. can't believe that!

That sucks. I hope they catch the guy. I'm curious, what happened to the rest of the deer? Did the CO allow you to take the carcass or did they confiscate it?

[Wade Joseph]

I can stomach a guy shooting a deer to feed his family during tough times but to shoot one JUST for the head?!?!?!

[perchking]

CO took the deer.

i work with a guy that lives up in the siren area and two gentelman not of the american nationality gun hunting on privite land, when the guy i work withs neighbor yelled at them the let go two shots at him. they called the dnr, when they went out there they found 2 riffle shells in the ground, the worse thing is that if they would have shot him they would have said they were threatened or no speak english

Packman,

Where abouts did that happen. We hunt land about three miles southwest of Siren. That's kind of spooky.
