Sad but true, we have had 2 big mature bucks shot from the road at night, and their heads cut off and the rest of the deer left laying in the field on a KY farm. Im sure it happens all over, but the secluded areas loaded with ag fields makes it easy pickin for the poachers.

[LOL..... the OBR does seem to get a lot of attention doesn't it?
I hunt KY too and I can say that they have a disapportioned amount of game outlaws.
I totally agree !!! The farm we hunt in Ky has a public gravel road that runs through it and during deer season about every 10 minutes you hear gravel turning and the local poachers are creepin' by tryin' to do a drive by. Its funny that same gravel road gets almost zero traffic the rest of the year.
Last year my buddy was hunting a stand in a hollow not far off of that road. His truck was parked on the side of the road at the edge of one of our fields. He heard a vehicle approach, then shots were fired, doors open and shut and talking. All of this was in sight of his vehicle.
We have also found gloves under one of our stands, but hey at least they got out of the vehicle ! The rural areas with gravel roads and the smaller country roads truly are a poachers paradise.
i have one stand that i can see the road from and i'm about 500yds away, i can't see my truck from my stand because the field has a bend in it but the road hunters would have to be blind not to see it, i was watching a spike and a couple of does when a truck pulled up, opened the door and pointed a gun at the deer. that when i stood up and yelled at the top of my lungs and they got back in and drove off.
i should have let them shoot then called the law or shot over the truck

I hunt in KY and TN.......The poaching problem seems to be about equal in each state.
Poaching because your family is hungry is pure BS. If you can afford guns, ammo, gasoline and spotlights, you can afford to buy groceries.
Poachers are thrill killers.
