It has been a long weekend. Yesterday I spent five hours sitting outside operating the deer decoy on a road that has been experiencing a lot of road hunting. The bandit had shot six bucks in about a four mile area and cut the heads off only to leave the the whole body. Payoff was huge we catch the guy shooting robo deer and he has a buck head in his truck bed he just shot that morning. For those that are wondering he is looking at about five thousand in fines and loss of hunting rights and all equipment that was confiscated.
Back at it this morning and we catch another guy in a different county. This fine sportsman bails out the passenger side of a small car(the car drives on) and runs in a set of woods across from the decoy. It is rifle season and he does not have the required hunter orange and he does not have permission to be in the woods. He proceeds to put the stalk on the decoy. The poacher then gets into position to take a shot and we have a vehicle come down the road and start to photograph the decoy. The vehicle moves on and we end up sending two officers down to catch the guy. This guy did not have a good day after we got through with him.
The end of the day was horrible. All I can say is at least no one was shot.
Total time spent Saturday and Sunday 23 hours. This includes paperwork, field prep, and field work. I will be glad when gun season is over. I think. Catching these guys is just like hunting bucks
