Boy it seems like everybody thinks that when a deer jumps a fence and a few second, minutes, etc... later you hear a boom! That they just killed an undersize aniaml?? Leave it alone. Unless he shooting on your side of the fence or you see the actual animal (illegal) get shot let it slide

I don't know about everyone else but I was raised that NO ONE LIKES A SNITCH. Next thing you know someone riding with you in your own car will call and turn you in for speeding. I am not condoning anything and if it was something like tresspassing or shooting across property lines then yes I would call, but as the situation was described I would leave it along or talk to the hunters personally but I would not turn them in based on what was described.

LOL. Some people do not have 100's or 1000's of acres to hunt. If you have, say 80 acres and your neighbor has 50. It is not to far fetched to think this could happen... Say you hunt over looking a field, the deer crosses the field and jumps your fence and heads out across your neighbors field and he's shot.
This would not really be hunting "to close"...

That had a 10-12 inch inside spread that you guessed as it passed by. And 79% of the people here would call a GW. I wonder how many would call the GW if it was there son or cousin or BIL or dad that swears it was 13 inch inside spread before they shot it, but wasn't even a 13inch outside spread there lying on the ground. Story around camp a Caddo grasslands one year was the guy took one in a inch under to GW check station they took his deer and gave him a 800$ fine.

Just keep telling them you saw the GW the other day. Tell them the GW has been making his rounds. Then (if you have proof) call the GW and tell them the situation and most of them will respect your wishes to remain anonymous. They will show up and say they were "just making their rounds".
On the other hand,..I think that this is only a problem with people that share leases or only have a small piece of property. If that's the case, get a new lease, or make your small piece of property the most attractable to deer.

I voted to let it slide because in this scenario I viewed this rack from a distance and not with a tape measure. I have zero proof of ANY violation. To call the GW based on the scenario provided would be irresponsible, IMO. A GWs time is entirely too valuable to go wasting it everytime I THINK I see some infraction. Not to mention how stupid would I look, and how peeved will that GW be at me for accusing people of poaching without proof?

I am a big fan of the game wardens. Call them, and not only will he bust them on the first infraction, but he will make a point to keep an eye on that camp all season.

I wouldn't say anything. AR's are bullshit anyway, and besides that it's none of my biz what people do on their side of the fence.
And like other people have said, I wouldn't want the game warden lingering around my area.

I wonder if all of these snitches turn themselves in every time they break the speed limit,run a red light, fail to use turn signal, cheat on taxes, shoot to early/to late, ect. ect. Ok you guys are right they should hang these scum bags for commiting such a heinous crime.

I don't know what I would do, we don't have the AR rules where I hunt. I also know most of the people in the area and related to quite a few of them. Some things to think about. If they are willing to break the AR law what else or they capable of doing? Poaching across the fence line? Using the neighbors lease when they are at work? Road hunting? Maybe a little spot lighting on a neighbors lease? Out of season hunting?

PPL should try to obey laws.. but really depends on how much land that neighbor has as compared to the amount of land is being hunted on by the "person trying to make the polled decision". If the majority of the deer being said are coming from the other person land, I would let it be... that is the quickest way to get a hi-fence thrown up.

i think alot of people get mad because they try hard to have a good deer and watch what they shoot and what they feed, while others next to them shoot whatever and dont care about nothing but a freezer full of meat.
kinda like the neighbor to the right of you that keeps his grass well cut and keeps his house looking good, while to the right it looks like a rainforest with a house thats about to fall down.
alot of peole dont care about what they shoot and alot do, thats where people start to get the red a$$

I don't quite agree with you on that on Kelly.
GW's can't be in every camp at one time. They rely on help from the public...including 'possible' violations. For example, if you ever read the Game Warden Field Notes on TPWD site, GW's bust lots of folks on infractions where they were initially investigating something completely different. I've never met a GW that would be ticked off because he got a call regarding a scenario like this. Afterall, it is what they get paid to do (among other things).
Now, would I call?  I guess it would really depend on the neighbor. If he is routinely a horses a$$, I probably would just for general principal. If he is a rather respected landowner, typically does the right thing, etc., then I may give him the benefit of the doubt, and follow up with a drop-in visit for confirmation. If he has indeed shot an undersized deer, then I guess a firm reminder that the deer is illegal should be sufficient. He'll get the idea that you won't tolerate it.

I follow rules like them or not and hope others do too. BUT IT SICKENS ME TOO HERE "bucks laying dead under a cedar tree where they were hidden" I would rather help a poacher drag out an illegal deer than watch a respected hunter go Opps and leave one lying. And further more the same goes for a hunter that shots a deer just for its head or antlers. I would rather see a carcess with back strap and and quarters missing than a carcass just missing a head.
