This is July pictures. Pictures were taken about July 1 or so. Last year in July we had the same type of bucks, until September when the poachers started hunting. They would come in on full moon nights and must have been using night vision. They took all of our big bucks by opening day of bow season, we did not get anymore big buck pictures after the last week of September last year.
This year I have invited our local game warden to hunt here so he can help fight the problem. Take a look at the video and tell me What Would Do?

??????What are we looking at???? Did you see the poachers or just not see the bucks?

Don't understand the question. I would never want to hunt with a game warden .

I watched the video and now I'm wondering WTH your asking?

Going hunting with a game warden is like going to the mall with your wife...really stupid.

Sounds like the GW is getting the better end of the deal Not to sure what your trying to accomplish by having him there, he can't be there all the time.

How do you know the poachers got all of your bucks? Did you find their remains or something? It's not unusual at all for a bunch of bucks that hang around during the off-season to disappear in the fall. That's what happened at my place, but they basically just moved to the heavy-brushed creek bottoms.

Also, someone who can afford night-vision scopes and whatnot aren't going to be struggling to pay for a lease of their own. Doesn't really make sense.

confusing question but good lookining place not sure i would share some of those deer with the gw but thats just me all you had to do is report the problem and ask to keep an eye out for suspicious activity but good video i love watching deer

Not sure about the poaching issue unless you have proof like others have said.

To the anti-hunting with GW posters: Why would it matter if one of your lease members was a GW? Would not bother me one bit.

Don't know about the poaching on your place, but some of the most fun I've ever had fishing was with a Game Warden/friend.

Ditto on the GW thing. I don't really know our new warden, but I've invited the previous one to go hunting and fishing several times.

Good luck on catching the poachers, if that turns out to be the problem.

1ST OF ALL THOSE BUCKS, EXCEPT MAYBE THE WIDE 8, MAYBE 10 ONCE HE'S DONE ARE YOUNG. BUT A TROPHY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER. 2ND, LAST YEAR I HAD MORE PICS THAN I COULD COUNT OF SOME REALLY NICE DEER HAMMERING THE PROTEIN, NEVER SAW THEM AFTER LATE SEPTEMBER. IT WASN'T POACHERS, IT WAS A REALLY WEIRD YEAR LAST YEAR. I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST GAME WARDENS, I FOLLOW ALL GAME LAWS, BUT I TOO WOULDN'T WANT TO HUNT WITH ONE.

2 YEARS AGO A GAME WARDEN SHOWED UP AT CAMP, DOE HANGING UP WAS TAGGED. WARDEN WAS SHOOTIN THE BULL WITH THE GUY WHO KILLED HER, ONE OF THE OTHER GUYS COMES OUT OF CAMPHOUSE TO INTRODUCE HIMSELF. GAME WARDEN ASKS IF HE'S KILLED ANYTHING HE SAYS NO, WARDEN SAYS LET ME SEE YOUR LICENSE, HE SHOW HIM HIS LICENSE AND THE GAME WARDEN SAYS HAY WHERE YOUR HUNTERS SAFETY INFO. THE GUY SAID I THOUGHT AT MY AGE I DIDN'T HAVE TO HAVE ONE, GUESS I WAS MISTAKEN. BOOM GAME WARDEN GIVES HIM A TICKET. I KNOW HE SHOULD HAVE HAD IT, BUT COME ON HE WAS TRYING TO BE COOL WITH THE GAME WARDEN, HE HADN'T EVEN KILLED ANYTHING, A WARNING WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE. THEY WORK FOR THE STATE TO MAKE MONEY FOR THE STATE.

on nightvision poachers

What is the game warden going to do? besides kill your better deer?

nice video of your deer at your feeder. i agree if you didn't find a dead deer or signs of blood, its hard to prove that you have a poaching problem. the bachelor herds that run together all summer long, will stop running together and change their pattern by the time the gun season starts. hunting with a game warden is hard. you will have to make darn sure you don't make a mistake because they do not give out warnings.
