So why is it illegal to kill two in one day? If you can kill 2 in a 12 hr window. What makes the difference ?
If you were a state biologist whose job it was to set season limits and days, why would you not say limit two per season can kill both in one day if you so choose? Purely asking a question.
Same that goes for deer. If a legal hunter wants to "tag out" then why can't he/she in one day? Not saying you, me, or the other couple thousand folks on here would or would want to. However, if the opportunity arose and it was legal.

Same dang way for bucks , allowed two but only one a day . What don't you get brother. How many times have you seen two bucks or two toms together ? Alot and greedy gets them but those that obey the law allows another day of hunting why .....because it's the law !!

I get the law I understand the law I follow the law. My point is if the state says you can kill two what's the difference…. I've already heard the reason and cons. It's still a decision that an individual could take to let one walk or shoot both.

Makes me wonder about on line check in. Was he back home to check in the 2nd one ?? Or did he check it in at all. ??Seems like that's something TWRA could easily check. It may help next year.

Oh yeah but it would require to look at phone. Which they'd have to get permission from his provider I think .

He can only choose to either break the law or abide by the law ...no choice legally unless he chooses the latter . It's all about hunter ethics .
 
If TWRA wants to investigate this further then surely they can pull phone records and see when that 2nd bird had pics taken of it and video, etc. You can post pics and videos online any time. But they can always go back and find that time stamp.

Spoke with a TWRA agent who has helped me a few times in the past. Basically he said I waited too long. He said yes, the guy was wrong for what he did, and if I had called when it happened they would have been able to go after him for sure, but with it being so long ago it would be tough to get anything done. Which, if you think about it, a liar would have much more to cover his tracks with it being so long ago.

Yes, I know it's my fault for not reporting it when it happened. The agent assured me I can call him anytime I see something like that and they will pursue it. I do get why it would be hard to pin the guy down.

I will still be having a conversation with my neighbor.

Lesson learned for me, don't wait to report a lying thief. Poaching is stealing, and I should have responded as such.

Thank you all for your input. Lesson learned!

Glad the agent was responsive and informative.

Its not to long, they have a year to investigate and bring up a charge
 
Not sure there is really anything an officer could do except to call the person directly and state they had been reported for killing 2 gobblers in a single day and hope they would confess.

I sure wouldn't want all my cellphone records given to law enforcement based solely on heresy from an individual without any physical proof in a case.

But just having an officer call him should shake him up enough to make him think twice about doing it in the future even if he isn't cited.

But best angle is get him thrown off the property. That solves the problem of him and his friend overkilling such a small area.

Last person I had thrown off a neighboring farm was actually in law enforcement. Dude shot a gobbler from his truck while driving in to hunt. That didn't sit well with the non turkey hunting landowner.

I watched about a minute of that video and turned it off. I can't bring myself to watch most of the YouTube stuff. I watch a little catman and @30-06 type of guy videos when I see them posted but that's it.

It's all about likes and clicks, which I give it to them that's how they make money off of social media. That stuff just isn't for me.

Thanks for watching em. I don't post for likes or money. Doubt I ever. I'll share it on Fb for whoever follows my page and I think I have one time on this site. I'd say 98% of my family doesn't or never has hunted so they enjoy checking it out. I like a challenge and filming is a challenge, if you hadn't noticed I've not always got all my kills on film. Also helps to go back replay mistakes. It's always fun to have story time with ppl but being able to show them as well is cool to me. I'm just a regular guy just trying to enjoy the outdoors.
