Poachers in the whitetail deer kingdom

This paper is addressing, how can we stop white tail deer poaching, and how can we stop

poachers. Poachers know exactly where homeowners are feeding deer, it is called poaching.

People get one thing confused poaching and hunting are two different things, poaching is where

you kill for sport or for no reason, also poaching is where you don't have a license to kill that

animal, And hunting is where u kill for the meat and use the deer. When you unzip a deer you

will find corn in its stomach that's because people are feeding deer.

“Field dressing is the process of

removing the organs of a deer and

preserving meat from animals in

the wild.” “People are feeding the

whitetail deer around 3000 pounds

of corn a month.”

“ A Michigan family spanning three generations was poaching trophy-sized white-tailed

deer on a privately-owned Iowa farm without the required hunting permits or tags Douglas

Hebert, age 49, of Indian River, along with his 51-year-old brother, Jeffrey Hebert of Bay City

and their 73-year-old father, Leo Frederick Hebert of Bay. They carried out an over 16 seasons,

where the Iowa landowners supplied them with lodging and tags for any deer that were harvested

by the group in exchange for fishing opportunities in Michigan.

Over the course of the investigation, Iowa

Department of Natural Resources Conservation

Officer Eric Wright worked with our special agents

from Iowa and Michigan to uncover 19 white-tailed

deer that were taken”. “17 of which were bucks. The investigative team also found that the

Michigan residents.never purchased, nor applied for, the required non-resident hunting privileges

in the state of Iowa.”they have to pay more than $51,000 in fines and forfeit 17 deer mounts, as

well as the two compound bows and a crossbow

which were used to take the deer. “One impact on

the community is that Poaching can affect the

environment by depleting certain species of

whitetail deer. It Causes certain types of deer that

are endangered to become extinct.

One solution that we could do is having more sheriffs towers near the hunting grounds,

we also could put video cameras where people park at reservations and hunting grounds. One

thing we could do more is check tags more often so we can decrease our poaching population,

and we could make the the punishments worse if sheriffs or rangers catch the poachers or

Make it harsher to get a tag.

It's important that we have our whitetail deer and deer population because our deer

decrease our grass and wildlife and for some people it puts deer on the table, i think it would be

really smart to stop poachers before the old beautiful whitetail deer go endangered.
