Happened this spring.
I was hunting my property and knew the birds were across the road north headed my way. I had decoys out. I wasn't far off the road since that is where the turkeys had been the last 2 days. Vehicle drives by and locks up the brakes then creeps by. I moved closer to see what would happen and used a larger tree as a shield. It goes and turns around. They then come back and stop. Guy gets out with his gun fully camo'd up. I am 20 yards away and say you got permission. He jumps back in and they take off. Then they were dumb enough to go back by so I could get a license plate.
Fast forward to that afternoon. Same vehicle comes back and shoots a turkey from the road. Fed warden went to Arkansas and interviewed the three of them. One confessed to a bunch of stuff but AR would only agree to help if they didn’t charge them with everything. Guy got $607 in fines and they all 3 say they are never coming back to KS.
2nd group of Arkansas poachers I have dealt with in 2 years
