Further proof of the deterioration of our society. Sad. Throw the book at em

Any update?

Nothing new. No recoverable bullet so they got away with it I guess. We’ll have more cameras up in the future.

Any likely suspects?

Dang...I hate to hear that....was hoping to hear they caught the scum.....

That is terrible, Dave. May justice be served...swiftly.

Hope ya catch the POS.

Found one of their shooting places, it is on the west side of my food plot about half way up a good spot to see the whole field and feeder, have a camera close by now.
My neighbor found a poachers marker 50 yards from his feeder, it is bad in N. Jack county

Hope you catch them....

Thanks It sucks that POS do that, hopefully we will get them and

This is what my neighbor to the N.W of me found 50 yards from one of his feeders.

Where in Jack County are you?

This whole thread sucks that you all are going through this. I hate poachers.

makes you want to put out bear traps

Hope you get them.

8 miles north of Jacksboro off of 148 and on Jamison road.

Crazy thing about this I had a dream last night about a bunch of them coming down out of the woods and a fire fight was about ensue

This stuff fires me up. Hope you catch them.

I guarantee you one thing, with the price of Thermals coming down, you will have a new level of poaching where the biggest nocturnal bucks will be shot for profit. It is already happening I can assure you.While we sleep they are out there.

I have not heard of it happening, but I have no reason to believe that it is not. Thermals and a suppressed rifle will make it hard to catch them. When you say shot for profit, where would one sell a 170 rack and for how much?

That goes both ways, too. With the proliferation of cellular game cameras and now thermals, poachers won't necessarily know who's watching or when. I think a couple of new drones with thermal are coming to market as well.

Happened in the 1980s down in deep South Texas, huge night poaching ring was cracked. They were using suppressed ARs, night optics and even had fabricated cow hoofed shoes to try and conceal their activities. Supposedly they were cutting through high fenced ranches and shooting massive bucks with hunting clients..If I'm not mistaken, this was in the mid 1980s and ATF or DEAs even infiltrated the racket posing as paying hunting clients. Was a pretty unbelievable and sophisticated racket for 35+ years ago..

Stubs, based on what I recall seeing out at your place, looks like your neighbors/leasers are coming in on you from the back or side, not the one also having the problem, but I bet it is the same group of AH hunting REAL close. Not real hard to drive by and see if you're in camp. May even be able to walk your fence and see where they crossed.

Back in the days, in holland, we installed a bicycle lamp in front of the car at night and patrolled that way.
Poachers thought a bicycle approaching them for far away on top of the levee and they proceeded with their business.
Untill we got closer, and all hell broke loose. A few got shot at with lead.

I hope (you) catch them.

For sure. Heard the same thing. Spot deer and drop guy off. Kill huge deer and cut fence and go back and grab it and gone. Sure it still happens today I bet. Then my buddy finds his place is being poached by a video posted on here. Unbelievable what those f'ers will do. Video surveillance must be used by everyone all the time now.
