“Something felt off when I walked in,” Roberg recalls. “Racks to the ceiling around a single chair as the focal point—a spot for someone to sit and get turned on by antlers.”

"Listening to him and observing his satisfaction, I suspected there was much more going on. He was getting turned on by looking at the antlers and reliving the moment."

This guy is like the Gary Ridgway of poachers. Forget jail, put this dude in the nut house.

Welcome to the midwest.

What a bazar story. I have no doubt that a TON of big bucks are poached with suppressors and thermal every single year.



I knew a guy about my age who got busted for shooting 9 bucks in one season with his bow in PA back in the early 2000's.
I seen him at a party and I asked him why he did what he did. He told me that it was a straight up addiction and that's all he could say. He said he just loved shooting deer and he couldn't stop. It was strange to hear him say that.
To be honest, he seemed like a freaking serial killer to me.

I have no idea what ever happened to the guy.

Been happening long before the thermal and the suppresors. Majority never get caught.

Yup , my uncle lived in upper Michigan , he ate venison year round , never got caught . 22LR .

... and stories like this are just the greedy or unlucky poachers who get caught.

I can't imagine how many aren't getting caught. With growing hunter numbers, the rush and thrill to fill a tag and post about it, and lack of conservation officers all around, I can't imagine how many animals are "stolen" from law abiding hunters and the resulting strain poaching has on herds...

We had a guy like this in town when I was growing up. During the season we would be driving back home out of the woods in the dark and he would be headed in. I distinctly remember the light blue truck and he always had a spotlight in the passenger seat whenever I saw it in town. Everybody in town knew what he was doing. He did finally get caught, no idea what his repercussions were.
