I actually know two or three game wardens, and one time one of those guys was talking to me, and he said you know we just don't know who we have when we give somebody a minor ticket for a minor violation. It could just be somebody making an honest mistake, or we might have the biggest poacher in Montana and we don't even know it. I told him that in my opinion what poachers do, is they will have somebody usually a relative or a close friend drop them off, so there is no vehicle, and they dropped them off in the dark. These vehicles will be driving around without their headlights on. I know of a guy who is a well-known high school basketball coach, who is now in his eighties, but this guy is a big time poacher, and has been busted a few times, but all all he received was a slap on the wrist. Poachers are not always these Hicks driving around in these big pickup trucks, they might be driving a small economy pick up, but they always have toppers, and they like to drive Japanese vehicles. Poachers need to be stopped, so if you hear something, or see something, contact the authorities immediately, and take down as much information as you can. These people are hard to catch, and they are smart, even though they are idiots and low baggers, they are not easy to catch. We need more game wardens, and they need to get better pay, I totally agree with that other comment.
