Attempted POACHING while Hunting 200” Deer (Cops Called)

[@SeekOneProductions]

Hunting the areas we do, we run into this kind of stuff all the time. 9 times out of 10, we handle it face to face and do not involve the law. Especially if it is a younger hunter and can be used as a teaching moment as opposed to getting them in trouble. However, when a grown man we know nothing about shows up with a firearm, that’s a different deal. After the “kidnapping” situation that happened to us in North Dakota, people told us multiple stories about people getting shot over hunting confrontations. That ain’t worth it. Not worth betting the guy is a good dude in that situation and is best to let the law handle it. This man knew better than to run onto someone else property in an urban area with a rifle during an archery only season . The people calling us “snitches” in this situation is honestly just hilarious.

[@captainchaos52]

That's cause they are poachers and or shady and not hunters. They don't honor the animals and fair chase is something they know nothing about! Poachers make me sick!

[@mikeryan3188]

Nashville native here! It's time to get more discreet!!! Stop showing background shots lol! It's got so bad now around the suburbs with night time poaching !! I love the content but at this point it's affecting a lot of us near the city !! This stuff was a secret for 20 years until the Suburban scene popped off on YT, it gave the lazy poachers confidence to shoot deer without putting in the work! You have ppl watching videos now that look for specific details in the background, that's all it takes and your spot is compromised! I wish y'all fellas the best of luck ! Just tighten up security a little bit 😅🤙🏾💪🏼

God bless you guys, handled the situation in the best possible way. Unfortunately it probably isn't this guys first time doing this, but I am glad you guys were able to hopefully put an end to his poaching. People calling you snitches are probably the same people that would do the same thing, sure it's just a deer, but in the eyes of conservation, it means a lot more than that. Every animal deserves the respect to be hunted legally and fairly, it's the whole reason hunting laws exist. Without these laws, we would not be able to pursue this passion that many of us share. Thank you for doing the right thing gentlemen, way to shed light on these issues. Good luck this season.

[@sammylacks4937]

Somebody's in a heap of trouble now. Great job guys. I've seen people with nice deer on the wall only to find out they nite hunt.

[@chadbinette3201]

That's not even hunting. And you heard the cop say "you can NOT discharge a firearm within the city limits" so whatever city they are in is archery only. So rifle season or not your can NOT hunt with a gun in that city. I live in Maine and we have cities like that where you can't use a gun at any point. And people like this is exactly why so many people post their land and don't want hunting. If you can't use a gun to hunt in this city why they even driving around with a rifle? Hunting a night, out of season, ext all erases the term "hunting " . And if someone is willing to jump out with a rifle, no orange, trespass, discharge a firearm in city that is no discharge, who's to say what he would do if he came face to face with another hunter over a deer.
