Dead Deer but nobody shows

How sad that people even do this and also that the dnr dont care but it happens all the time around here too!

 

I always thought if you called the dnr they had to come make a report. After all isnt that what we pay them for.

 

still have a bloodtrail right? Call the DNR again!!! Sure would be interesting if they tracked that deer to his backyard!!!

 

I wonder what that guy across the street of you is doing with the deer...assuming his IS shooting them? He has to be either processing them or dumping them!

I would hate to think he is actually shooting them over some landscaping in his yard.

 

That is some BS... Id be pissed if I were you too. I hope that you follow up with another call to the DNR or do go and talk to them atleast. Let us know how it plays out.

 

Thats sucks. I would be really upset, and i wouldn't blame you if you cold cock the sob who shot the deer.

 

All you will get out of this, I know because we have used the rap line before is " there is something being done about it but not being talked about it.... " We never got a call back either.

 

Have only had one experience calling the RAP line about 4-5 years ago. I gave the initial info to the gal on the phone and within 10 minutes I got a call from a CO. She told me she would check it out and about two
hours later called me back and explained to me the situation and said she would let me know if anything further developed. This was also with a neighbor and I never heard anything again, but that did'nt surprise me.

I think the CO's are pretty strapped for time these days, but someone could at least call. If a CO can't answer a call right away, they should have someone from a local office screen the call by calling the reporting person to see how critical the situation is
time wise.

Seems they would have this guy stone cold, but a good shower would wash the eveidence away.

Situations like this sour people on the DNR.

 

I've contemplated calling the RAP line before on someone who I know is poaching, but reading stuff like this I highly doubt that it would do any good, especially since in my situation since the particular species is raccoons of all things. Deer at least mean something with respect to income to the state where as masked bandits I'm sure are at the bottom of the barrel.

 

F*&^% the RAP LINE. CALL YOUR LOCAL DISPATCH AND HAVE A DEPUTY COME AND TAKE THE REPORT OR HAVE DISPATCH CALL THE CO AND SEND HIM OUT. DEPUTIES CAN ENFORCE GAME AND FISH LAWS TOO! IF YOU REALLY WANT SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT THEN PICK UP THE PHONE! IF YOU GO KNOCK THE GUY OUT COLD YOU WILL BE THE ONE IN JAIL AND HE WILL PROBABLY KEEP SHOOTING DEER OUT OF HIS YARD

 

Go talk to the idiot. Perhaps without the threat of violence though. If you let him know that you know what he is doing it will cease or at least he will think twice about it. You can paint it as a neighborly warning before the authorities get involved. I think you may be surprised how much this could help the situation. People for the most part only break the law when they feel they won't get caught. Give him something to think about with a friendly warning. Of course if the behavior persists and the authorities don't help then proceed with socking him in the mouth.

 

Why should he have to go talk with the guy, isn't that what the CO should have been doing the day it happened? This is embarassing as far as I am concerned. Our DNR can't do any better than no response at all? What a joke. Could someone here, preferably a CO, explain what the purpose of the RAP line is. Because it obviously isn't for reporting blatant poaching violations.

 

I agree, every time I have called them, if they did not come that day they came the next. I am disappointed they have not come as of yet, please keep us posted
