Right on PHB. I am glad to hear that the fish/duck cops go 'under cover'. I personlly would like to see every single poacher pay for what they did. The story about what happened at Payson Lakes illustrates that they aren't all heartless scavengers. But do you really think so called hunters that are inclined to break the rules will do it in front of a uniform. No way. But the main thing is that we as law abiding outdoormen pay the price when poaching occurs. Those obeying the rules have nothing to worry about. So what's the problem? I too get tired of all the whining when someone is compelled to obey the rules, or even gets checked. Not everything is a conspiracy.
I was at the Lee Kay Center sighting in my rifle last Saturday. They had a trailer there full of mounts of the animals that they had recovered from poachers. There were huge elk and deer and geese and bears, and, and. and.... And the guy told me that all of the deer except for one in that trailer were taken on public land. Those deer were STOLEN from you and I! They were showing a confiscated home video that was used as evidence against a family that had poached several deer and elk. The people(I won't call them hunters) were shamelessly cutting them up on camera with chainsaws and there were little kids running around and playing like this is everyday life. It made me sick. I was fuming mad at the loss and the selfishness displayed by those people.
I am against poachers of all kinds. I am glad when I hear that the DWR is using which ever technique works. They can watch me all they want. I obey the law and have no worries.
