I called the hotline to report at least 5 deer that weren't tagged opening day of gun season....I believe there were even more then that as the hunters were still in the field when I pulled up to the barn with the 5 hanging without tags. The reason for going up to the barn or even calling was the fact that there was at least hi powered rifle being shot off in the 40 acres next to where I was hunting. I know muzzeloaders sound similar but I do know that they weren't reloading the muzzloaders that quick.
Bottom line I called TIP hotline and a CO called me pretty soon there after and then acted as if he was going to go investigate. He never did, it was somewhat disapointinting. He acted as if the deer that weren't tagged was the biggest issue, as he couldn't prove the rifle thing with a test any longer as muzzleloaders and handguns have the same powder now?
Overall, just a little disapppointed that I know they had too many bucks (3) for only (2) hunters and that they were using a rifle and the CO didn't even show up after he acted like he was going to. Any suggestions? I have outlaw neighbors and they get away with it because the CO's didn't show up. Thank you.
