Curtis just says that when he is…. He just can’t stop!!! Watched him take down 5 whole raccoons in one sitting. Says his family in Central America - the kids at 10 years old can scarf down a coon, possum & armadillo like nothing!
I got a lot more Feedback & a list of viable solutions to combat poaching here & probably keep all sides happy. I’ll post it all up in new thread sometime soon here. I am genuinely asking for solutions & the few that offer- I’ve been getting some truly awesome ideas. I am actually thinking...
Does your area or region get a good bit of poaching or u feel not bad?
I’ll paint a simple picture…. You put a 180” heated robo buck out anywhere in 6 counties around me…. That buck is gonna need have a new hide put on by December as it would get blown to bits. You put a heated coyote in those...
We’ve been experimenting a lot with this. Rotisserie is our current favorite since we ate the last of 500 jars of pickled coon.
I prefer a mesquite flavoring or even a light hint of hickory. Tell u what- smoked one on the clippings from our apple orchard pruning….. apple smoked coon…. to die...
Who would let them lay? We eat them 3 meals a day!!!! We have neighborhood grill outs & everyone assumes it ribeye! I suspect all the kids at school are trying to talk my kids into trading lunches!

Oct - Jan - if I get pulled over with a rifle & a spotlight - nothing they can do. The second I put that spot light into a field & there’s a rifle next to me- different ballgame...
From an academic pov or from the outside - it doesn’t. When u live in this world 24/7 u grasp the reality of the situation- then u understand when it stops. The VAST majority of deer poaching happens in November. Maybe up to mid December.
You can get crime stats on any topic btw or get...
Talked to someone higher up in enforcement today on the thermal & poaching issue- I asked for more feedback. Good comment …. “The thermals & poaching are absolutely the worst in month of Nov & that’s when the few CO’s are spread thin……. A start or a compromise….. no thermals or NV in November...
I’ll do a rare & quick ME ME ME argument …. I’ll give a quick example. Anectodal. In the last 10 years the best busts we’ve had were one with over 100 bucks & the next was 47. In 10 years, I’ll bet u we have dealt with 50-75 poachers easy. Probably half are from out of state. Thermals...
CW - bit moody lately!!! U need to get outdoors & get some quality time out there!!! ICE knows where you are…. Behave, be nice & I’ll keep them off your back.
