I definitely run with some outlaws, most have calmed down some since they got older. I guess the most expensive mistake they made was getting caught shooting 100+ over the limit during early wood duck season. Most everyone had to pay a couple thousand dollars and lost licenses for four years. That case made the news in multiple states.

I don't hang around outlaws. Might make me look bad.

One acquaintance poached a buffalo.


One killed an 8 point with his bow in IL, in a park in a No Hunting "Safe" zone.

That's the two "most outlaw" things I can think of.

I got nothing. I run with a pretty tame crowd.

I know fella in Coosa county that shot the "dummy" deer on 2 seperate occasions in a 3 year span...lol.

I know another feller who would rig up 2 double barrel 12 ga's down a pile of corn and when a drove of turkeys came in..boom.He passed away back in 1999.

Went to school with two ol boys that shot several deer in the state park one night with their bow. Would have got away with it if they wouldn't have went back too look for a buck they couldn't find

Luke?

Used to fish a local country club's ponds pretty regular, and get run off pretty regular, but many that was some fine bass fishing!

Made a couple of casts into a golf course pond on the way out of the river. It's right next to the parking lot.

Launched a 19 ft stratos bass boat off the side of a road one night into a 10 acre private neighborhood lake. Place we launched spot was so steep that it wouldnt winch back onto the trailer. Well coordinated effort between truck driver and boat driver. Fired the 175 hp up at 1:30 in the morning surrounded by 400-500K homes and drove it onto the trailer pulled it out and left all in one smooth motion. Some fine bass in that little spot.

A local game warden informed a couple of city police, "that were buddies of mine", where he would be setting up a robo deer. half the PD rode down and massacred the deer (Fully automatic rifle was involved). The police officers got a pretty good scolding from both ends of the enforcement heads but I hear the wardens reaction was priceless that night.

ever body i hunted with over the years pretty much went by the law .

had a couple guys get pop for crossing a RR when they were walking out . guns were loaded .

one young guy got a ticket for killing a shot up doe out of doe season .

now i know some outlaws but i dont hunt with them

Saw a deer killed where the womens softball field is now on AU campus, took it back and cleaned it on front porch.

Have also seen commercial catfish ponds get fished with a throw net at 2am

There was a guy that was poaching some property down the road from me. He got caught by the game wardens 4 times in one season on the same property. Freaking loser idiot. From what I was told he was just shooting deer and leaving left them laying.

Buddy of mine was bad to duck hunt. Eat up with it.
He watched 2 mallards on a city pond most of the fall.
He rolled up one morning and whacked em both with one shot.
He only beat one of his crew to it by about 10 minutes.
An elderly gentleman who lived nearby heard the shot, saw the dead ducks on back of my buddy's truck but couldn't do anything about it since he didn't see it.
He let him know he knew though. But my buddy was a bastard and he didn't feel bad.
I don't hunt with him no more.
Another buddy of mine is straight as an arrow. Wouldn't break a game law for anything. Unless a dern turkey is involved.
He's a deacon and one of the finest humans I've ever known but roads, property lines, dates on calendar, none of that matters when it comes to turkeys.

years ago i got caught catching hogs on a wma when it was a closed season. just community service was all i recieved but i learned my lesson. this was in fl and its over run bad with hogs now and probably wouldnt get in trouble if i did it today but this was years ago when i was stuip...er

Know a guy that shot 2 gobblers with a rifle last year...

LOL i just remembered one of my friends shot a hen with a rifle from his truck on a county with a rifle a while back took it back to camp cleaned it and made turkey chili for everyone

To bad Timber ain't around anymore..... lol

It wasn't rare about 10-12 years ago to see or hear of a group of guys running and gunning coots from a boat. Story is that one group shot so many coots one day that they filled the boat up.

There is also Many a tales of many ducks that got shot from truck windows while driving down Langston road.

Seems like we all know a guy that has spotlighted or road hunted deer, too.

Any given day during deer season there is probably someone sneaking onto Bellefonte Nuclear Property to chase big deer.

Dad's told me stories about guys he knew from his younger days that would make most retired game wardens want to unretire and put the active wardens into cardiac arrest. I'll keep those to myself for now.
