Thread: How to deal with Poachers???

Don't run - you'll only die tired. Love it.

I've got one saying "My dog isn't a vegeterian"

Thanks for the feedback,
Was going to put a sign up on the track,
The boundary is what I call clear as... you have to climb over a fence

Hang the sign on the fence. No trespassers, enforced by snipers...

Ha ha samba you re not alone there.Mine would lick you to death first though ..

Hi ,

A couple of ideas

1) How about contacting the local newspaper and getting them to run a story on it ?

Pictures of rotting deer carcases especially bambis go a long way towards getting the public onside - and it will also warn the poachers that you're onto them (assuming they can read of course which is probably not the case)

The publicity alone and letting them know you're involving law may well be enough to stop them in their tracks as you'll no longer be seen as easy pickings ..

Anythings worth a crack ay.

2) It is an offense to carry a firearm on private property without the owners express permission to do so. If you specifically remove any doubt about that - with a sign for instance on the track they've cut, then they have no legal comeback


Tim

Discuss the problem with DOC and try to work out a solution that maintains access for hunters and also protects your property rights. Fenced access, polled route, signs etc. Ask DOC to pay for it.

Raise the issue with the police. Don't be cynical, give them the benefit of doubt.

Serve trespass notices on know offenders.

Be firm and reasonable.

Some will laugh at the notion of discussing it with DOC, but I know that they will attempt to find a solution.

I do this stuff for a living, I'd be happy to negotiate with them and others on your behalf. PM me if you want.

She sounds a bit like me!

EDIT ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahahaha oh dear, I only just read the comment following that....whoops lol

give them no reason to go there,shoot or poison all the deer ,alot of farmers are now doing this cause they have had a gutsfull of poachers,
the judges do not give a charge that acts as a deterant for poaching

You'll have to live with it I'm afraid. We've tried all of the above for 20+ years and still get them bad. Probably aid in prosecuting 2-3 poachers per year on average. Just be proactive and trespass as many people as you can. Keep in touch with the local cops. If you install cameras have back up ones, they will be smashed , stolen or shot. You need photos of the ppl who wreck them. To the worst offenders, signs, gates, fences, road blocks mean jack sh*t. On the down-low; spikes in water holes, drained diffs and engines, manuka sticks in radiators, and "hot" gates will sort out a few of the casual poachers. Get friendly with a couple of local hunters you can trust, let them hunt it regularly. They will keep an eye on it for you and will protect their patch. It also lets the local poachers know that you aren't a real negtive c*nt and won't let anybody at all on. Trouble with us now, is we have poachers travelling hours to spotlight and shoot deer off the roads down home, we know because we've caught them!


My favourite..."With the current high price of ammunition, don't expect a warning shot".

get a few 1080 signs off doc then put them up

put a hotwire on top fo the fence with 240v going along it

Have some light banjo music playing at gate ans afew short lenghts of rope draped over the fence

If you can locate their vechile, (providing they havnt been dropped off and you are positive that it is the poachers vechile) smash the windows in and pour a litre of gas into the vechile and chuck a match into it. Walk away and shut your mouth. Pretty easy really. This is the fate that awaits whoever is gutting my hoggets and leaving the evidence behind. You know who you are and i will catch you one day.
