November 16, 2008 Poachers............


Well, tonight turned out to be fairly interesting. Michael and Dad witnessed a poacher across the ridge. It was well after legal shooting hours when the headlights were seen and the gunshot was heard. Without going into the whole story, 2 hours, 1 state trooper and 3 game wardens later this poor thing was found in the woods. Her backend had been blown off and the bullet exited through her gut. The game warden let us take the deer so she wouldn't be a total waste. It's just sickening that people have to stoop to such a level. Michael's hand is bigger than her head. They had evidently dragged her into the woods to come back for later or the next morning who knows. It's just ridiculous that some people don't have anymore respect for wildlife than that.
