Poaching Bust


















Click on images to enlarge.
I received an email from a buddy yesterday about a bust on an alleged poaching operation in our neck of the woods. The forwarded email included the following text – presumably from a Michigan DNR warden…

From our raid on St. Martins Island on Nov. 19, 2009.

31 bucks and 9 does on the pole. Nothing smaller than a 7 point. Another approx. 10 deer, antlers, and heads found on the ground around the camp. A mix of smaller bucks and does.

10 deer without tags, approx. another 10 deer with wives/girlfriends tags. Investigation continues.

This is the next island beyond Rock Island. (Just beyond Washington island). The Wisconsin/Michigan boundary is right between Rock and St. Martins Island.

If this is true the outrageous scale of this crime is absolutely breathtaking and someone should be sure to throw the book at the perps.
On the other hand maybe it's just another internet hoax?
Stay tuned...
