Poaching Neighbors
This weekend my buddy and I were walking our hunting property when we were hit with the ominous stench of a rotting carcass. After searching for a few minutes we came across a deer carcass which by the looks of it was shot in the chest with an arrow by our neighbor and dragged onto our property. The carcass was only 10 feet from the property line and you could clearly see where it had been dragged through the leaves. We reported the incident to the Michigan DNR and I was impressed when a DNR Law Enforcement Officer responded however he was quick to point out that he thought the deer may have been hit by a car. The deer was clearly a buck and had its head and cape take but the rest of the deer, including the meat, was left to rot. I cannot tell you how angry this made me. Most of our neighbors in our area voluntarily particiate in QDM activities and don't shoot small or young bucks. To find out that one of our neighbors may be poaching deer and leaving them to rot drives me crazy The jury is still out on the incident as the DNR is still investigating. We have suspected that our Neighbor had poached deer in the past so I will have to update this post when the DNR calls me with an upddate.
