Can’t you boys do something about this?

Ming, Laos and Vietnamese are the worst poachers on earth! IMHO. They used to shoot squirrels in Ca and make them look like rats like the CA fish and game were so stupid they'd mistake them like that. But they'd have a hundred of them. I couldn't imagine how often they get away with it.

If any of you guys think that the TWRA will do anything about this you are just wishing on stars.... They do not want to have to deal with illegals since it makes problems and more work for them... When you look at the record of the TWRA over the last few years you should know that... Officers poaching, stealing gas, Officers lying about CWD testing to steal state and federal money... Just wait a few more weeks and something else will come to light.

It is much easier to mess with a citizen to fine them for something small than to deal with illegals.

I remember a time calling twice within an hour to report a group of Mexicans below Walter Hill Dam throwing cast nets and dumping everything from that net right into their coolers. TWRA never showed up. They continued to fill that cooler with 7" crappie and whatever else they caught.

We wont keep a crappie less that 10.5" just to be sure that it would
Pass measured it differently somehow that we did

And...btw, the "officer" charged with stealing gas is the same officer who accidentally discharged his firearm while teaching a gun safety class several years ago and got a slap on the wrist, if that. No joke!

Wow, I hadn't even heard about that. You couldn't make that stuff up if you tried.
