I would however, gather pertinent information to reveal to my buddy to use in whatever way he deemed suitable to handle the situation.
Check me if I am wrong here, but isnt this exactly what Deepfork did in this situation?? He took pertinent information, the picture, to the landowner to do what he needed to do. Is it the fact that the landowner wasn't his buddy that makes him a snitch here? Or am I missing something. I guess we are just different. I would call the law, warden, friend or neighbor if I saw something or knew of something going on that wasn't right. Be it on a buddies land or not. And I would hope that I would recieve the same courtesy from other people. I saved for several years to be able afford my lifetime hunting and fishing license and it pisses me off to no end when I hear of some random jackass with no respect for anyone else who just poached a trophy deer , or anything along those lines. Grade school is over, so I'm not worried about being a "snitch". I dont look at it that way, I look at it as doing the right thing. And as far as wardens having too much power I dont buy into that either. They have a job to do, like it or not. Not trying to come off as holier than thou, but stay on their good side and there shouldnt be any problems. Same thing with police. I have never taken any game illegally that I have known of. Had I been caught doing something illegal, so be it, I screwed up and would face the consequences. Have I been pulled over for speeding, yes. But guess what, I was speeding. Have I got a public intox, yes. But I was drunk and being ignorant. Never had any problem with either as long as I wasnt doing wrong. Sorry for calling you out on this one but it just struck a nerve by calling someone a snitch when they were just doing the right thing. Thats all I have to say about that. |

TexasLacey, no I have not ever shot a deer out of season. We did the right thing, sorry you think it is snitching!! Personal I think not!! We were helping a local family that is trying to make living. And no I was not exotic, it was a 150 inch whitetail. It doesn't matter if it was a exotic or no, the man that shot the deer was on the road and shot thru a high fence and here in Oklahoma that is illegal!!
Thank you to the fellas the agrees with me on this!

Snitch?? Good grief.
I bet 75% of the cases game wardens end up filing on begin with information they've obtained by someone who saw something. Unfortunately, they can't be everywhere all the time. This is the exact reason the "Operation Game THIEF" program was started in Texas. Someone observes a gill net in the river, they call....someone see's someone hunting migratory birds over baited fields, they call. You're correct in that all whitetail deer in the state of Texas are owned by the state. That translates to ownership by me, you, and everyone else who lives and pays taxes to the state. So yes, I do own a portion of every deer in the state and I aim to protect OUR resource whether I suppose it's termed being a "snitch" or not.
I suppose if you looked out the window and saw theifs hauling crap out of your neighbors house, that calling the authorites would also be "snitching" and best thing to do would just be ignore the situation and kindly let the neighbor know upon his return home what you saw??

Maybe someone will come steal TexasLacys crap while his neighbor is watching. Then when he asks his neighbor what he/she saw they will just tell him...." I ain't no SNITCH!!"  |

Next time someone is missing a dog you know whose house to drive by looking for it now? But dont ask if he knows any information. That would be snitching. Nobody hates snitches worse than a thief. haha

He can say snitch or whatever. I did the right thing, heck if I owned a hunting ranch and payed for the deer that's in it and somebody shot one without permission, I'd want someone to help me out, just like I did. I bet if texaslacys saw somebody stealing or poaching he'd do the same thing maybe but more than likely. The only reason I think he used the word snitch is because it didnt happen to him.

Again, I'm not a proponent for poaching. Seems to me that several people posting in this topic are apparently ignorant of what the definition of stealing is. Bottom line, if deep fork feels the need to report alleged poaching then so be it. I'm not one to involve myself in a situation like that. Just my personal conviction on the subject. For the ones who have likened me to a thief, you may first of all feel free to reread my posts and please point out what part of what I've written advocates theft, and secondly I've never stolen anything in my life. So, you may also feel free to keep your opinions to yourselves concerning a mans character unless you have the testicular fortitude to speak these words in a more personal venue.  |

I don't like to get other people business either, but I live in a small community where everybody knows everybody and if I have chance to help a neighbor out you can count on it!! Either if it's helping them change a flat or calling the game warden. So don't go out and call a snitch!

I too live in a small community and I applaud you for helping a neighbor out. If you saw what I said as a personal attack on your morals or integrity, I apologize.
I just see the game wardens as trying to prosecute people simply because of the revenue generated through fines and such. And I will not help them do that.
I guess no one here has ever dogged deer, baited doves, called catfish or anything else to provide for their family that some bureaucrat has deemed "illegal?"

I can tell by your attitude you have never been on the other side of the fence.
When you spend thousands of dollars and many,many hours on leasing land, food plots, running feeders, mending fencing and managing the wildlife for years and years.....to have some jack nuts cut those fences, and gates and fire hunt the place and ruin years of hard work.
Because he has to so called "provide for his family".......The wardens dont have enough power!

Yeah I did take it as you were making it sound like I was a bad guy for turning the man in. Now on the other hand a man that needs to provide for his family is a different story. I have a wife and to samll kids and I will do whatever it takes to put food on the table and a roof over their heads!! My opinion the man that shot the deer wasn't providing for his family. There is a lot of dirt roads around us and I'm sure there is a lot of doe's running around, but when a man shoots and 150 inch buck from inside of the fence and cutting the fence to get out, I believe that the only thing he wanted is the horns!!
