They received hefty fines and lost their jobs and were sent back to their home states to poach there. It really affected the deer herd for two-three years around here.

I'll bet it affected the herd for longer than that with inferior bucks now doing the breeding.

Mike, here it's a couple of brothers that are only about 18-20 yrs. old. They have a family member that is a taxidermist, and he pays them for the heads. One of the brothers is in jail right now for DUI. He was driving a UTV, drunk, with a young woman as passenger. He wrecked badly and the young woman is paralyzed. He won't be jacklighting any time soon, but his brother and a cousin are still at it. They've threatened farmers and others here, pulling a pistol on them. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that they've been found dead in somebody's field, shot with buckshot. They can't do much with buckshot at the ballistics labs. People around here aren't going to take a chance with them.

Sad stuff. SRH
