Mr. Bill, I ALWAYS enjoy the stories you tell. I glad to have you as one of my "global" neighbors. My wife told me a story about the destructive, at least in our eyes, nature of deer. She had planted and nurtured around 6 rows of purple hull peas up to near maturity. She was an over the road truck driver and had to go out on a run of about 3-4 days, she returned around 10 pm cleaned up, ate, and went to bed. The next morning with bucket in hand she walked up the hill to her "Pea Patch" only..TBC

It will never be called poaching if you don’t admit to living “in” a state. Knowledge is king.

Every film that you produce is a good one! Luv to see each new one. Maybe, just maybe, you are the Andy Rooney of the modern west!

Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.

@flipr7 you might like another video I made (best game warden in Nebraska) have a safe holiday season.

I have a 450 acre beanfield as my front yard, leased by someone else. He gets 50 deer tags a year for that one field, and they come through every night, shooting every deer they see. I've had to see 150-160" velvet bucks, and lots of does lay and rot in the field over the years. Sad thing is, the hog problem is totally out of hand, and you can see 20-50 hogs per night in the field on any given night. They never shoot the hogs, only the deer. Its literally made me so mad I cant stand it. Meanwhile, our deer population has now become near to non-existent for about 8 square miles, with thousands of hogs running around. It has totally ruined a once beautiful and bountiful area. Lamar Co., AL. There can be one deer in the entire field, but 100 hogs, and they still ahoot the deer. Damn fools.

@homesteadprepper thanks for contact and kind words, got a dusting of snow today in sw Nebraska so keep warm

I was recently watching a bunch of videos on urban youths, made me think of this video. I hope other people see it. I genuinely like you Mr. Bill, like the maternal grandfather I never met.

@1955thekeeper thanks for the contact, sorry to hear of her death, keep warm the weather is changing

@JustinBaker2567 most any predators, like the guy in kansas that told of that state forbiddding killing over 5 rattlers a day, the man said the only limit on rattlers is when he was out of ammo. thanks for contact.

Another great video, thanks.

Great job I love your videos keep making them and have a good year I am thirteen and I have shot 2 deer already a doe and a 4 by 2 buck

Been an avid bowhunter for years, maybe that farmer should have utilized some of that meat. Im a friend of a small farmer that gets nuisance permits, all head shots, and we make sure nothing goes to waste. Yes we spotlight and use a rifle but with the game wardens best wishes. If your starving you should be able to provide for your family no matter what time of year it is. Thankyou Mr. Bill we all must do our part

MY BLONDE WIFE SAYS SHE POACHED A COUPLE EGGS ONCE.

thanks for watching and your thoughts I call it survival if it happened as I WAS TOLD-- but the G men would call it poaching and would have put both in prison and made them monsters in the news media so never break the law, those souless badges have no mercy.

Awesome story. Man must have been a dead eye with that m1

I know how they fill the deer eat about $35000 of soybeans on one farm for me last year 65 acres didn’t pick the first bean deer picked them for me now if these judges and game Wardens was losing 35000 dollars of there pay check before they got it every year they would not be out to hang everybody over these dam deer I bet they would quit and find a different job I know exactly how that man and woman felt

@Barncops both can do a real job on enemy, be it man or beast. keep safe

Great story time

I just came back from a seminar type thing where wildlife biologist and conservation officer and others talked about hunting subjects/hunting laws. They talked about a program where hunters can put down times when they can hunt and farmers with deer problems can contact them to kill deer for them. They also talked about "deprivation tags". A farmer with crop damage can file for deprivation tags any time in summer until sept 15th. You recieve 25 tags to kill 25 deer, buck or does.......

@SydbarF thanks for contact, and keep safe, plus I would fear for any that bend the rules these days for the law enforcement run America like a sale state, so even if you do not live in America I would never risk prison, but there are alternative ways to make critter leave and never return. Good luck

There are a ton of poachers here in North Central Kansas. It's crazy.

fine story!!! thumbs up!!!! Dallas GA.

@donze52 The state might as well regulate how many eggs the rattlers can lay.

@RememberThe1776 for sure aint got no proof, only the word of her family at the funeral that day. it would be a first for people to tell a ball faced lie at, but in this world people do crazy things. as for 30 shot clip, he might have reloaded or had extra rounds or cilps, as you well know their ranch is right on the Kansas / Nebraska boarder, a really out of the way farm for sure. might go there someday to hunt arrow heads. thanks for contact.

Of your a meat hunter poaching is 100% ethical if there is no public land or everything is shot out and when I said poaching I mean still doing everything right but the permission slip you still respect that animal and the land your on

Amen

(continued) Using any weapon legal for that individual to own.,unless there is a safety issue with using high powered rifles in that area. After the first 25 deer you can recieve addition tags after a biologist or someone comes out and looks at the problem and sees atleast $500 in crop damage.. Just some information there, so in Indiana theres no need for a farmer to poach the deer they can do it legally even though i would rather them only shoot the does and pass on bucks lol

Years ago, I knew I guy that poached a couple of deer every year to feed his family [clears throat]... but I don't consider what he was doing poaching. He was feeding his family the only way he could. So no, not every poacher is a monster.

hear in upstate ny you are alowed to shoot any animal that is a threat to livestock, humans or domestic animal

@Walterispyro reminds me of sargent telling me he would rather have a 100 deer hunters with him, than 1,000 non hunters if a battle is coming our way.

The 3 S's, shoot, shovel, shut up. A lot of people have ended up doing this with problem wolves.

This is a good story,lol

This story kinda reminds me of a Clinton story

That's the issue today, people don't understand that hunting is a necessity to keep the populations in check. They just think nature will take care of itself, in a sense it will but there will be repercussions.

Back in the day a good friend of mine lost his security clearance in the army because he had someone mail some deer antlers to him in Korea - considered an aphodesiac by Koreans, like Rhino horn, and a good top dollar blackmarket item. A shame those fine Nebraska deer just went to waste due to fear of govt. regulations - could have provided food, hides, and aphodesiac antlers.

cont... to find 6 rows of nothing but desolate and barren ground with only a small fuzzy stubble sticking up out of the ground where each plant had been growing. From the freshness of the situation they must have nibbled them down to the ground the same night she returned home. Except as a source of very delicious protein, my wife hated deer and promised to get her peas back one way or another. I'm sad to say that she passed away before seeking her vengeance on those robber deer.

I like my dear baked broiled or fried instead of poached

@Nebulax123 yep, as a game warden told me with pride way back, Game and Parks does not make much money from permits and fees but the real money comes from massive fines, he was that day bragging that he had caughtt a 9 year old boy with a fish 1/2 inch to short and fined him $300. or the local cop bragging he had ticketed a man for driving one mile over the speed limit. I have hundreds of local examples. .

@twoPIECESofCANDY thanks for contact

I realize that is stupid but its just the law and they were enforcing the law. And how are you sure they needed that meat? or just said they needed it when they really didnt need to have it?I also dont understand how come poachers that are supposedly desperate for food have to go cruising around at night with a spotlight looking for that monster trophy buck that some hunter has been trying to kill for years spending countless hours and it is just shot down by a poacher so easily with a spotlight

If there's to many or it is a problem it's by by on my farm says the 338

Not breaking any laws is very good advise but is getting increasingly hard to do these days.

I liked how he killed 40 deer with a 30 round clip. AWESOME!

i doubt this is true but would be real easy 2 prove, dig up the evidence.

I think you might be David Murnan's real father.

And yet most farmers wont let hunters hunt there farms? They would rather waste them and risk getting caught i guess

M1 does NOT have a 30 round magazine.

The problem is..40 more deer will move into the vacated area within a year of those deer being shot.

Yeah them poor ol farmers have so much trouble making it because of the wildlife tearing up there crops that's why they put up so many no hunting signs .. The only trouble they have is trying to hurry to the bank with there lease money and all the government subsidies they get handed for doing nothing..

@Nebulax123 yep but I would not try it now days, no mercy would take all your wealth, and put one in prison to be beaten and raped daily for decades. as the game warden drives a brand new state truck and eats lobster and laugh at as you spend your life behind bars. keep safe this winter and thanks for the contact.

@cptexas1 thank you for you imput, on the street as a street preacher, I hear many stories, many tails I hear many sad stories, I never ever condemn, why? I did not walk that mile in their shoes. YOu and America kill insects by the billion without mercy in the name of food supply, this story was of a farmer and his wife under attack and a government that wanted them broken and laughed at their crys. I pray for their dead souls as I pray for your live soul to learn to forgive:

I always said" it's not against the law to do things, it's against the law to get caught doing certain things".......

If you have a problem with deer on your land feel free to contact me or the millions of other hunters who are just looking for someone to let them hunt. We can do it the legal way no need for poaching. And I see what your saying but poachers of today aren't trying to save their farms they are trying to kill the biggest buck on land they dont even own with a spotlight and high powered rifle so they can brag about it. whether they even eat the meat i really cant be sure

Hey Bill ? I keep forgetting to ask you if you have ever seen a cattle mutilation or heard of that sort of thing you being a sort of cowboy through the years :i

Maybe could have stopped after a few.. maybe ate a couple huh?

true or not still a good story

The guy killed 40 deer with a 30 round clip how did he do it he is a man!!!!! :P

Magazine, not a clip....

Farmers where I hunt have destroyed our deer hunting by killing all the deer in the fields at night!.

If you eat it and no waste, its not "poaching"

Funny
