Thread: How to deal with Poachers???

Catching poachers was something was and still do to a smaller degree.
1 Identify your boundries so you know and they know where it is, so they know when they are on private property.
2 Be active with your patrolling i.e Anytime, any weather, you may be out on patrol, have someone with you if possible.
3 Don't carry any weaspons ,fire arms etc when on patrol. That way if it goes to court you can't be accussed of threating behaviour.
4 Get as much information on the tresspasers as you can i.e Vehicle rego, trail cam, personal details, like what they look like, What they wore, description of their dogs etc
5 When you have them on your property record the time, and place, gps if possible.
6 When they are apprehended, push for the mamimum penalty allocated to the offences. Disturbing stock, being unlawfully on private property plus with a firearm. Threating to shoot you or your stock, or the threart of assualt. Because you are unarmed and on your own property the court will rule in your favour and this will be taken into account.
7 If all else fails ,do what my clients do and hire a private Security firm.
