I'd like to know the true/actual number of deer harvested that doesn't get counted..I bet it is way way more than anyone thinks..I work with several people who openly admit to poaching..In Unit B Morgan co,they talk about killing does during rifle season.The one guys brags about killing 9 does last year.The other guy, says I just killed " a couple"!! 10 or "a couple" is still poaching..It burns me up..
Over the years,of talking to other co workers or just other hunters at the check station,they all seem to shoot what they want when they want. Or land owners are bad for it..I know several land owners who hunt their own land.And during the conversation,I might bring up how I'd like to see Morgan co be put in Unit A so we can have increased ML doe permits,and they always say,"ah its my land,I'll shoot what ever I feel like"..Does anyone else find this type of hunting behavior a common practice? I hunt 100% percent alone,so i don't have no other hunting buddies, to compare them to..Seems like everyone I talk to about hunting,talks about poaching in some way or fashion(aside from tdeer)!!

Very common. There are fellas in our area that kill 50 a year, many of them actually go into your county because there are more deer their. They get caught every now and then but with just one deer, pay a couple hundred dollars in fine and court costs and get right back at it the next night, laughing at the laws and minor punishment. Not really anything can be done until the law changes and more enforcement is brought about. Right now its really up to the landowner to enforce their own properties, the justice system just isnt doing it.

I've heard plenty of guys talk about it also, but I usually get as many details as I can and then mention that TWRA offers rewards and they get kinda quiet about it.

It's not only does. I hear stories about how many bucks they can
kill. By the way, most of them are young bucks. These type
people are not hunters, they are scum. You know it and everyone
else knows it.
