Guy out here saw a man get out of a truck, crawl through a fence, and shoot a mule deer. Now, this was two weeks ago and very much out of season. The guy stopped and took pictures with his cell phone and then did a really stupid thing: he confronted the people. Fortunately all they did was cuss him out; he got another picture of the rifle being retrieved from the weeds where it had been left.

He drove to his father's house and called the cops. The cops took pictures of the blood trail from the dead deer, the pictures the guy took, and three young men, well into their beer, were locked up for a LOT of offenses -- seems they had a meth lab in the house as well as stolen goods, other poached animals, stolen guns, and videotapes of one of them having sex with a minor.

The guy who took the pictures got an "Attaboy!" from the cops -- and a check for $10,000 from some private citizens who thought he did Good.

Oh, yeah -- the poacher was firing toward an occupied dwelling, too.
