Straight up BS - 11/27/11 03:47 AM

So I getta phone call today from my neighbor at my ranch in frost. She asks me if I was down there hunting this evening. She said there was a blue car and four guys with rifles parked there car and started walking through the property. Now we've had poachers here recently shooting deer and cuttin off the heads and leaving the bodys behind my neighbors property's. There ain't nothing you can do when it comes to people being stupid.

I'd ask her to call the GW or Sheriff next time for sure ( you probably already have). It just amazes me how some people are and the problem seems to only get worse.

Yeah that would work, then you could at least get a license plate while you wait for the Sheriff. I finally had to get my GW cell #'s so I had them on my cell.

Really not sure why everyone does not have the GW and Sheriff on their cell phones - makes life alot easier.

That sad part is, if the economy keeps getting worse you will see a increase in that and other criminal activities. Still the economy is no excuse for that kind of behavior.

You can just about always reach a game warden by calling the Sheriff's Office for the county in which you are located. Also, the Operation Game Thief hotline is answered around the clock, every day of the year: 800-792-GAME.

Get to know your local GW. Each one should have a card with thier contact info on it. Our GW even gave me his cell phone number in case I ever have any issues on our place ever again.
