My family used to have some pretty nice deer on our property. (for our area)
We were constantly finding signs of poaching and trespassing. After fighting it for a while, I found the solution.
I shoot every button buck, spike, and forkhorn I see. I will pass up every doe just to get a chance at a button buck. After doing this for a few years, no more problems with scum.
All that work we did to help grow the horns equally helped to grow the poachers.
There will always be poaching, but as long as we keep worshiping the horns, things will only get worse. IMO
