Last year, my neighbor had a section of pine trees thinned and sold. These pine trees were next to my land and harvesters to me about the two big bucks they saw on my place (next to the pines). I did not want to talk about the bucks, but had been watching them grow out for the 2 yrs prior. Many photos of these bucks and was letting them age. Both bucks were poached within a week after the thinning. They cut the heads off the bucks and left the meat on the side of the rode. We discovered the bucks at my gate next to the blacktop road. Contacted the game warden and there was not much he could do. Or he showed little interest.:(
Then this would seem to be a case of pride also. They were after trophies, not meat.
I've never had any work performed by a taxidermist, but is there any paperwork needed to have a deer mount prepared? As in, you need to show a tag to the taxi to verify legality on the part of the hunter. This wouldn't stop someone from purchasing a tag and poaching deer anyway, but perhaps it would cut down on some of the illegal kills?

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.
