I am working on increasing the 2nd amendment rights allowed to my fellow citizens. The exact details I would rather remain rather vague for politcal reasons.
I have been stymied in my attempts at gathering recent and accurate numbers of large game (white tail deer specifically) taken illegally. Does anyone know where I can find this information? |

I have found stats like this from Montana.
It shows an average of 420 big game animal poaching citations. But this does not give an esitmate of how many poachers are not caught or how many animals each poaching citation was for. |

Quoted: Quoted: Contact State Game & Fish departments. Not only do they know these numbers by heart, but can state them from memory. I need written reports / surveys. I can't believe this information isn't available online somewhere. They should send you a paper report. It has been a while, but I think Wyoming G & F has the poaching numbers online, and it always makes the local papers when someone does it in the National Elk Refuge. |

Every number I have seen has been in the couple hundred range for citations. I have seen several places anecdotal comments that poaching is equal to legal game harvest numbers. |
