If you catch the poacher red handed, one idea is to make them drop their wallets and then leave. That way, without confrontation, you have their name, address, etc. to turn into the game warden. If no wallet, make them leave their tackle and equipment - course a 20 gauge hanging in the back window of your truck helps convince them they best leave behind what you request. I caught two guys fishing my lake (one actually was in the water in a little wader boat)- I ran them off and next night my front gate lights etc. were torn out and ruined. Mark is right - if you catch them watch closely for retaliation.
