So my question is.....why are you guys bitching and fussing about people breaking hunting laws? I'm a huge fan of Fish and Wildlife wardens and I know the hard work they have to put into their work. Any warden worth his salt would be delighted for every piece of info you could give them about violations. If you refuse to turn people in for violations then I consider you just as bad as the poachers themselves. Call the warden!! Prosecute these poachers! Do something that makes a difference instead of blowing off on some stupid hunting forum.

Not sure accusing us of being poachers is the best way to start out with your first post here. Can't speak for anyone else but myself here but calling the warden(s) is not that simple. Especially if you're an absentee land owner.

It's not that simple, as an absonty owner I don't want my place damaged or worse. Maybe the law is flawed and not enforceable.

[/quote] I truly understand the absentee landowner part but often times a warden can do a lot with a little bit of information and most times they can cast shade somewhere else so you are not the suspected "tattle tale".

To much downside not enough upside to act. How has your hunting season been so far? Where do you hunt or have land?

The wardens in the field are pretty much screwed by the very organization they work for. The higher ups have completely stripped the system of any accountability by hunters. Hunters (term used loosely) can kill deer, phone register them as anything they want, butcher it in camp, and discard carcasses on private property. This leaves no evidence as to what the deer was, and no cause to investigate. WI is even worse now because the animals don't even get tagged. It's all a damn joke. The DNR doesn't give a crap about who shoots what or how many. They just want state revenue.

Still find it hard to believe that this was a move forward. Easier for the hunters? Yes, but it's easy for hunters to game the system now. It's all about money and not about management.

My son and I each shot a deer this past weekend. In both cases, due to MN import restriction, the deer were gutted, skinned out, de-boned, and in a cooler within an hour and a half of hitting the ground. Could have called them in as anything we wanted. So damn sad. WI used to have a way better system for accountability, but now have the worst IMHO.

Which we could prove whose money was important.

I wish I had a business where people paid me to do my work for me. It's like a city selling permits for people to go pick up litter for them, and the people are in constant competition to get the most garbage.
