I’m in 82a. We shot a buck Monday morning and I got one Tuesday night. Shaved one on Wednesday morning. Nothing yesterday we’ll see today ( Friday ) and tomorrow. Warm weather has everything shut right down. All the cameras also

It doesn't help that WMUs 81 and 82 have one game warden per zone! I have seen very few tracks in the spots we hunt birds in. Usually the deer rip trails and corn apart, but not this year. Yeah the warm weather doesn't help, but I think poaching has a lot to do with. The windmill roads have opened opportunities for poachers to trespass and get on properties with ease. I spoke to one landowner that told me stories that would shock everyone. Guys trespassing on posted properties all the time. Stories of hunters vandalizing property owners homes or belongings cause they were confronted about trespassing or driving through crops with ATVS or pickups to get to spots. Incredible, and disgusting! There is also a rumor going around that poachers are selling deer meat black market to restaurants??? Anybody else hear the same??

Yes I've heard the same. 2 landowners have told us they hear shots before and after daylight all fall. Pretty sickening if true.

Yup the farm we hunt on the owner has been telling the co here for a long time . Don't get it twisted some COs aren't as "amazing" as you would think. Heard of some crooked ones taking cash for a little hush hush believe it or not.
