all depends on the situation and the person doing the poaching. cracker larry, that’s one heck of a scary story. glad it ended the way it did.
Cracker Larry, they were lucky it was you and not me.

Oh, and Larry, what if the first three shots you heard were from the other fellas gun?

I had considered that possibility, but the kid seemed to have more sense than his Dad, wasn’t acting aggressive and he had a rifle that he wasn’t pointing at me. Dad had a shotgun and I heard 5 shots from a shotgun. Plus I was mad with that barrel jabbing me in the throat. Probably would have done the same thing if I counted 4 shots. I can read people pretty well, he was all bark and show and not prepared to shoot me. I was opposite.
We were all lucky and I still feel bad about that day. City folks in the country can be a danger to themselves and those around them

Originally posted by Blueskyguythe ones I caught were driving deer through my land, they had obviously had done it before on my land and on others, used old trucks with fake license tags</font id=“red”>
I got there to still hunt and found em, they were standing in the bed of their trucks in the field at the edge of the woods waiting on the dogs to drive the deer into the field, they called their buddies on the CB radio and then the craziness started
I was about 24 at the time, went crazy, got their shotguns, unloaded them in the air and then jammed the barrels in the ground a few times filling them with dirt, threw the guns in the truck and told them to leave
talked with DNR and they knew who they were but said if they didn’t catch them in the act there was nothing they could do, this was before cell phones and cell cameras
I used to work for DNR and had on my DNR hat, and had my dad with me, the hat may have saved me from trouble or the fact that these guys knew they could poach with little chance of getting in trouble but an assault would be jail time
