    I use it on barbed wire around my corn pile. I get to pick and choose.

    Default SC Poachers busted in CO

    Who wants to go in on the pot and buy a couple pods for 2thDoc? He needs all the help he can get.

    exactly. our sense of fair chase shouldn't supersede the importance of humane killing. Now where might a fellow find some poison...hypothetically speaking?

    The irony is that is one area 2thDoc doesn't need our help. As I understand it, he has the credentials to legally buy and possess what goes in the pod. Whether it is legal for him to "dispense" it in such a way... you'll have to check with him on.

    I might try a pod of garlic butter and then take him home and put him right in the fryer.

    Btw, they had all the necessary tags and licenses. The only thing they did illegal was using pods. So they weren't exactly "poachers".

    Yes it is. WMA it is Illegal, there's no law against it on Private.

    So, if I shoot a deer on your property, but I don't know it's your property, I'm not poaching?

    I know one of these fellas. He's a good guy. I won't make excuses for them breaking the law though. As for pod's, I've seen, used, filled, and sold these things when I worked for irby street. We use to get the chemical shipped by the box and it was nothing to sell 100 pods the week before opener. From personal experience I can't say that they ever saved me, I never made a bad shot when I had one on the arrow. I can say that they won't work with birds, the pod will roll back when it hits the feathers so all the chemical get brushed off before going in. Irby street stopped selling them 3-4 years ago, I don't remember the reason why, but I know there are still hunters out there that swear by them.
    I don't bow hunt anymore.

    That wasn't the best analogy.

    Why not?

    Assuming I have all of the necessary tags and licenses, it's the perfect analogy.

    Just because I don't know what I'm doing is illegal, doesn't make it okay.

    Ergo, I'd be a poacher.

    And, these boys are definitely poachers.... and assholes.

    Legal on private land. They work most of the time. The chemical that is used is pronounced, sus-a colon chloride, not spelled that way. It will kill you to in the powder form. Meat is good to go, no problem eating the entrance hole meat. I have used them in the past. If you want some and the "sugar" contact Rebel Archery in Mississippi, it aint cheap though.

    I guess.

    Usually think of poaching as trespassing to hunt, hunting out of season, killing over the limit, maybe even spot lighting deer.

    I equate this to using lead for hunting ducks, as both likely reduce crippled/lost game. I dont think it effects the "fair chase" of the hunt. EDIT 2nd thought maybe it does, with the tips, all you need to do is knick them anywhere.

    Gotta play by the rules either way.
