Going to have cattle on one place this winter so figured I needed to put up some barbed wire around a ground blind in a waterway.
(note to self, don't loan out the post driver, you may need it, and a 16lb sledgehammer sucks!)
Phone started ringing and it was the county game warden. He was on another place of ours and had collared two trespassers that had poached 4 quail.
Wanted to know if they had permission and if not what did I want him to do.
Hang em high and let them swing was my answer.
They were from Prague Ok. They drove almost 300 miles to kill 4 quail. The fines will be almost $800 each plus their expenses of driving that far.
That covey had 10 birds in it as of last week. I was going to hunt them this coming week to get a couple for us and maybe a rooster.
Now, all there is left will have to be for breeding stock for next year.
Can't even hunt my own place because the poachers have ruined it and hunting season isn't over yet. Nobody knows how many times that strip of grass will be hit and more quail poached.
Game warden told me that this season trespassing is the worst he's seen it. With the covid, there is nothing much to do I guess other than drive the country roads and road hunt. He agreed.
With snow on the ground tomorrow, I'm sure the road hunters will be out in force.
I'll be watching our farms and the neighbors property as well.
