Man you owe your neighbors big time! Having someone to watch your property and to help out like that is very hard to find these days. Huge shout out to Chris or all the work he did to help you.
Shout out to the neighbor and neighbors like this. If you are a landowner and don't let anyone hunt, this is the kind of stuff you never know about. I've got permission by explaining this exact thing before. It's well worth having someone out on foot that you trust and that will respect your property, to keep an eye on things you otherwise would maybe never know about
I'm a big hunter and 3 years ago, seen the biggest buck I've ever seen on private property 30 yards off the road. Across the road from the deer was public land. Ofcourse shooting it runs through your mind but being a responsible hunter, you don't do it. This year, I finally got the big guy on cam on public land and knowing he's made it several seasons is gratifying. He's posted in my shorts for anyone to see.
I saw the biggest buck on public land so what I did was set up bait under a tree I climbed up it and dropped down on top of it and took it down by hand and suffocated it and broke its neck, so I was able to take the trophy without having to shoot and break any laws, posted it on my shorts
@@apapz3245 let me guess sure you weren't at the zoo... sure you weren't chased by the zoo security.... I did saw a zebra, a lion, a giraffe and a hippo at the New York zoo. One day they dissappear at the zoo. It was all over the news the zebra and the lion, hippo, and giraffe end up getting sent to another country along with 4 penguins and 2 monkeys.....
My neighbors help me out also. Last year got a poacher who set up cameras and had relay system for photos on my land. Local police got him and although he denied it was him - his cameras took pictures of his and his sons faces. Priceless. He then begged the detective to not to call the game warden in and that he would pay the fines.
PA deer hunter here. Bumped into my local game warden exiting the woods this past Saturday. I asked him what the craziest sh*t he’s seen this season so far. Apparently a guy tagged his doe w/ his fishing license - $1k fine.. 😂 😂
Also a PA whitetail chaser...my buddy is a deputy warden in my county and he also confirms some crazy stories. He's taken 4 deer so far in rifle from idiots recycling tags. Those are heavy fines as well.
@@jayharry2237 Yea, it needs to be significant enough for someone to not do it again. I’m sure wardens vet folks too. They likely know who’s doing it by accident vs on purpose. There’s probably a range to the fines they give out. I could be wrong. Ask your buddy, haha..
It's people like him, that give us good hunters a bad name. We get a lot of poachers on the reservation that I live on. Its not cool man. Glad you have a good neighbor who looks out for you.
Bro unless your actually tracking and hunting the animal you are all shot hunters just saying. Sitting around in a deer stand or blind is and basically attracting them to you is not hunting and never will be hunting. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You never know who you might run into while hunting. Back in 1994 my Uncle was hunting in Altoona Pa. on state gamelands. He was hunting the edge of a field at the wood line. Eventually he got a chance at a buck. Nothing crazy, just an average rack. He shot it, and it dropped when hit. By the time he climbed down and started walking to his deer he see’s another hunter walking towards him yelling “ what are you doing with my deer” The guy was hostile from the start. He insisted that he shot the deer and it was his. After a little protesting my uncle just gave up and let him take the deer. To him it was not worth getting shot, or having to shoot someone else. There are some lunatics out there with guns that probably shouldn’t even be allowed to have them.
thankfully they decided to call the warden ,, i live in iowa and poaching on someone's land is a very good way to get yourself shot ,,iowa doesn't allow rifle hunting just shotgun and bow ,,but iowa is a stand your ground state and coming on someone's land with a weapon and having felonious intent I/E Poaching you put yourself in mortal danger if you threaten anyone
Thank you for giving me some time away and get things off my my mind about my 7 yr old son who we just got news he has a brain tumor! Hopefully it is not cancerous but we will know more in a few days!! Thank you for everything you do with these videos and love your son everyday because anything can happen.. 🙏🙏
That extremely stinks. Hate when people have to ruin stuff for the hard working. The time and effort you all have put into managing these deer to get beautiful deer. I'm glad he was caught. Thanks for making the video to help the rest of us. We as hunters need to stop letting these people get away.
Hello, Flair. Hunters for the Hungry seems like a wonderful cause. I'm glad the venison isn't going to waste. It's great to have neighbours who will look out for your well-being.
The poacher should have to pay a restoration fine also. That’s a hefty fine in itself. I don’t know if they make poachers pay restoration fines in every state but I think some states do or used too.
Yeah I agree. It’s good if the fine actually goes into game conservation and paying game wardens but if it just blindly goes to the state for them to use anywhere I’m not cool with that either. I think half should go to fish and game and half should go to the land owner as it’s his meat and time and money put into land management that helped produce that deer!! That would be fair I think, I just hope if it all goes to the state it goes to fish and game and not the politicians or stupid projects they decide.
Wow! Great Neigbor & friend. Ethical hunters are making a huge difference nationwide combating poaching. Smartphones, game cameras, technology, etc. along with well trained Wardens are also a game changer fighting these lawless poachers. Keep us informed on outcomes!
What content you mean sitting in a structure and aiming a gun out a window? Not actually hunting or tracking the deer 🤣🤣🤣 Man people are so easy to please anymore it's not even funny.
I used to have trouble in poachers and trespassers on my place. About five years ago I caught this clown on my place and held him at gun point. I called my brother and the guy thought I was calling the game warden, which I already had. I smiled and said you wish. In about ten minutes my brother showed up with the Cat excavator. The guy asked what's with the excavator and I replied "Oh, that's for your body, see we don't call the cops". The dude actually broke down and started crying. About then the game warden pulled up and came over to where we were. He said "I'll take charge of this guy, you boys don't get to bury him and his truck today". The guy confessed everything to the game warden and got cuffed and stuffed in the warden's truck along with his gun and his truck was towed. The game warden and us had a good laugh and he said before he left" Okay boys, try not to kill nobody" and the dude passed out. Since then, poaching and trespassing has dropped way off. He-He.
@FLAIR absolutely happy to see that your neighbors work together with you, its always nice having like a neighborhood watch especially for poachers and other people causing mischief/damage. A suggestion would be put a hidden camers at that spot, knowing this is where the guy goes. Also if this is the second time, I would do the same with the area the doe was shot and limping away. Atleast until you can bush up those areas. May also help you find "the freak" depending on the angle you choose. And keep an eye out incase this jerk decides to retaliate for being turned in. Im glad Chris was at the right place at the right time. Im sorry that happened but Im glad the meat will help benefit people that need it and wont spoil. Im seriously wondering if that deer was the one you guys let go last hunting video so it could grow some, the points and antlers kinda look close, Im going to go back and watch. I would put that guy and his truck and plate on blast, to everyone in your town, or atleast your area. He should be charged with the following: Shooting from a roadway Poaching Did he have a valid hunting license? Did he pay for the season? Did he have his habitat stamp? Did he hunt with a legal firearm? Did he have a buck tag? Cruelty to animals Is he legally allowed to even own or carry a gun? Does he have a record? Loading or carrying a weapon on a highway Not wearing orange Tresspassing Hunting on your property without permission Harvesting a trophy buck Failure to register/check station/telecheck his buck he shot Failure to provide a serial number and security code on the permit. He also couldve used OnX or the Public Access Atlas to find public land. There is NO excuse for what he did. Id also put a restraining order on him against you, your family and your property; being this is something that was premeditated with the tp bs, and he had been circling many times. I also hope they take his drivers license and vehicle, along with all his guns, scopes, ammo. It prolly was him with the doe and unless they got the doe and did a balistics there would be no way to prove it. He did however shoot this deer in the neck on purpose. You need to get all Chris's footage and yours and blow it up and make a video, which im sure you will as this all unfolds. What a shame. I truly hope he serves JAIL if not PRISON time for this, especially being hes done this before, atleast with this strategy. They should be able to get him on premeditated poaching, that in itself should get the major fines and jail. Im truly glad Chris was there, and you were able to get there so quick. Hoping this doesnt happen again, but seriously Id put up cameras in the gaps. I know it sounds stupid if you cant get plates but if you can get them getting on your property atleast they can tresspass them and maybe have a picture of the people doing it. Also you never know what people like this will do after theyve been turned in, always better to be safe then sorry. Wishing you all the best, if I can think of any other ideas or if my brother has any I will pass them along. Glad to hear the meat is going to hunters for the hungry. You may want to look at a case pertaining to Jacob Hueftle, after the U.S. Attorney's Office in Nebraska 2020. Wishing you guys all the best finding the freak. Stay safe, stay orange and find a great one.
Flair: we will need to build a brush wall. Me: or work with the game warden and have a fake buck in your yard with cameras to catch shooters from the road with law waiting....that would be a cool Beefcake/UA-cam video. Flair: shew!
I agree, entice a poacher and get them to make that mistake. It's one thing to stop and look to admire wildlife, but out of respect to the animal, the land owner, and to themselves, don't poach!
So glad that you were able to get the guy that did this to a deer on your land. Thanks for keeping us up to date on stuff like this that happens at the ranch.
We had 3 poached along a mile of road by my property in late june. Shot 2 like that, and one in the head, a doe. Waited till dark to drag them out. Someone saw her pulling the 3rd one off my friends property got a photo of plate and called dnr. They caught her when she was trying to get on the freeway. Charged with 3 counts of poaching, tresspass, firing from a vehicle,firing from the road, loaded rifle in vehicle, out of season hunting, and something else that I can't remember right now.
I’m thankful that your neighbor was there and took the video and called you! I can’t stand a poacher or someone hunting without permission! It gives good, honest hunters a bad name with landowners who don’t hunt, and makes it harder to get permission to hunt on private land as well. I hope he gets prosecuted to the maximum!
Shout out to Chris and his brother . Good neighbors are hard to find these days . My family have this same problem , trespassing and illegal hunting on family property . It's sickening and he deserves the maximum punishment
We caught a poacher on public land years ago during archery season. My brother heard a gun shot, then a deer groaning. He snuck up and saw a guy with a shotgun under a tree stand. My bro went back to camp and told us. I encouraged him to call the DNR. The CO came out and we took him to the spot. He gathered a spent shotgun shell and the heart which fell out of the deer when the guy was dragging it. While we were out there with the CO, the dude walked down the 2-track thinking we were gone. No camo and shotgun in hand. My bro recognized him as he had talked to him on a previous day. He got arrested. Funny thing is that he shot the deer under a tree stand that had his name on it. Not too bright of a guy. We were happy he got busted.
you should rent a tree spade or have someone come out to transplant the trees onto the fence line. that way you won’t just have dead brush it will have foliage for more cover
@@natetyler5565 deep nate. Even though no matter how hungry you are you should still never trespass and kill on another man’s land. If you need meat ask people. Hunters are the most giving people out there. Also he wasn’t hunting for food. He wanted wall hangers
Me personally i think that all poachers should honestly be automatically sentenced to at least 5 years of jail time. The worst part is that poachers exist and you just have to keep fighting them. The best thing is that a lot of people showed up and helped. Great content and i hope this doesn't happen ever again.
Yup, I don't get permission from private land owners so I just hunt public land. It's better than nothing and there are deer out there, just not as easy with so much land to cover and so many places a deer can hide. As much as I would like to get a deer at times, poaching has never been an idea I entertained for more than a second as it's wrong, not fair to the animal or the land owner if it's private land. I will say this though, anytime I shot a deer on public land and it ran on private property, I've always got the permission from the land owner with no issues and often times they help me track it and load it. Only once did I have a farmer that questioned me and wanted to see where I shot it and then track it to where it went on his property, only later to find out he had issues with poachers.
@@toddk1377 id do the same thing. But i hunt on my families property. Ive killed 2 large does but not a buck yet but i wont kill a buck until a descent sized one walks out in me. Or if it is sick and needs put down
Hey Flair, if you're planning to transplant trees, your best bet is to do it during the dormant season - november thru february.. otherwise the trees will not make it!
You never never ever make any kind of threats against anybody on video, if anything ever would happen to them your the first person they come looking for.
Passed on a few bucks that were 50-100 yards on private butted up next to public, you just wait your turn and do the right thing man.. shout out to Chris!
This is one of the main reasons people are so skeptical about letting people hunt on their property's. People like this are what kills it for people like me who try to do everything by the book and correctly. Sorry you have to deal with people like that
My family always allowed people to hunt on their land as long as they didn't abuse the land. My grandfather always said that no one has the right to or owns wildlife. Just because a deer frequents someone property doesn't make the deer there property.
@@toddk1377 On the flip side; I work with someone that doesn't allow anyone to hunt his couple hundred acres of land except for friends and family and then he doesn't give permission to take certain deer, "his deer" He basically feeds them 9 months out of the year. I tease him (sort of) with "why don't you just put them in a pen"
I found dove hunters on my ranch ONE time. It was a polite encounter as there were young hunters in the group. I explained it was my land. They thought my land was part of a large hunting consortium (NOT) that surrounds my property. My ranch in Texas is fenced. After talks with the consortium members my property is avoided like the plaque now.
I’m glad the neighbors were watching. I used to hunt and fish. I would always ask for permission to hunt on someone else’s property. If they say no I would move on to someone who would give me permission. As a property owner I don’t care if people hunt as long as they ask for permission.
You should have the Warden show you pictures of any racks he has at his house. You can then go back and look at trail cans and see if they’re any of the bucks you haven’t seen lately. He may have already killed the freak or a couple other big bucks. He probably is the guy who killed your doe for sure, just all his tricks and shit, it’s definitely not his first time.
I know I don't want to run into mr green jeans when I'm hunting. Nothing illegal but no thanks on mr green jeans walking up. My area they are cracking down on wearing orange on private land this year.
They need warrants to search your home and several states don't abide by the open fields doctrine. They have to play by the same rules as any cop or federal agent does, unless their authority supersedes the constitution now.
Flair is genuinely a great guy. If you seriously wanting to hunt on his land I'm sure emailing or trying to get in contact with flair he would be all for it. Not only let you have a good hunt but probably make a cool video helping a viewer get a deer. It's that simple. Just ask really. It doesn't hurt to ask.
We had poachers on our property. Confronting a poacher is a risky deal- you can get killed. The Game Warden told me to never confront a poacher, especially if they are deep in your property. He said if they are willing to go deep in your property, they willing to shoot you. PS- neck shot because they don't run. No running means less chance getting caught.
The poacher most likely knows the area especially where to look for deer and where to get easy shots. Most likely been doing it around the area for quite a while.
I love the heavy penalties for poaching. I love how they can just take ALL of the stuff even peripherally used to poach. The guns, ammo, camo, binocs, lights, truck, trailer etc. One of my favorite poacher busted moments was on North Woods Law. A kid was busted and it turns out he was in college to be a game warden. EDIT (THIS WAS DUMB. Your tree idea is way better) If I were you, I would put up a bigger fence. Doesn't need to be climb proof, just extremely hard to get a deer over.
Looking forward to an update on this one...Poachers are the scum of the earth! Glad you have a good community around your Ranch Andrew....otherwise you might have a whole gang of poachers out there!!
I'm sure that if he asks your permission and offered you a case of beer of half of the deer it would have been a different story. I grew up on a farm that my great grandfather owned and he would allow most people to hunt and fish the property as long as they asked and didn't leave trash.
Poachers caught should serve a lifetime sentence where we have a open season to shoot poachers with paintball and airsoft lol. Let them feel the heat for a couple weeks a year.
Had this happen to us once. I was in a tree on creek bottom watching the field in front of me, wind directly blowing from my right to left. Road 150 yards to my right. And a another bottom behind me, during rifle season, I was bow hunting. All of a sudden I hear bang! N like I almost fell out of the stand a buck had came out in the bottoms behind me and a guy shot it from the road, not only was it a 150 inch 10 point, but the one I was hunting heading straight for me. At 9 am. I saw the truck, but couldn’t get tags and time I climbed down and got out there they were gone, with the buck. The game wardens were called as soon as I realized what was happening. The guys got away as far as I know. But it won’t happen again. The very next day we enrolled those two bottoms into the wetlands restoration project, and now 5 years later it’s 80 acres of the thickest stuff 15-25 ft high you could imagine. All because a poacher was too sorry to hunt right.
I don't have anything like a game ranch. But my little 8 acres of woods, streams and beaver ponds, is my land. Found a fella setting up a stand last year, said he had permission. As we are both armed, and in the middle of the woods, it was important to stay cordial. But end of the day, I told him he was on camera, on my land, and respectfully said he was not welcome, but to feel free to call the authorities.
You make a very good point you never know whose armed in the woods and if it's a poacher they may not have the ethics of a regular Hunter should have with firearm safety and they may just turn it on you I imagine they would turn it on a game warden as well and they may be superior forced to deal with it is never a good idea to pick a gunfight even if armed god dammit and they pretend us former military are all bloodthirsty crazy gun fanatics when we are the safest next to hunters when it comes to weapons safety especially former infantry Marines
@@harrydick3300 People forget that a gun is only a tool, that is true. A bad person is more likely to use a tool for bad , and a good for good etc... But the main thing I worry about is training, and on some levels access. Because lots of folks forget that while it is a powerful tool, it is not the right tool for most situations.
Flair you got some great neighbors man. We take care of each other like that down here in Texas. Sucks that happened to you but hopefully the warden sticks it to that poacher! Good luck hunting the freak 🤙
I’m from California dead smack in the Silicon Valley so you can assume their isn’t a lot of hunting going around here nor is there such great neighbors to go out their way to approach someone Armed! And then confront them. God bless all of you.
Florida laws on trespassing is, 1 simple trespass gets escorted off. 2 trespass with a firearm is a felony. 3 trespass by projectile is a felony. So I think you should go for it
Well definitely different. Sitting in a heated box having coffee and conversation with your rifle on a led sled impossible to miss. Meanwhile I sit under a ponderosa pine on the side of a mountain in Central Pennsylvania freezing my ass off. My conversation with myself is damn if and that's a big if I shoot one I have to drag its ass down one mountain and up another lol. 😂🤷♂️
@mpayne8206 I usually watch about the first 5 min or so then I get disgusted. Very few real deal hunting videos on UA-cam anymore. I'd speculate 95% of them are paying $$$$$
love the video so far brotherkeep up the great work and it is a great day when flair post please keep up the deer and duck hunting and can not wait for the trappen videos to
Unfortunately this kind of crap happens way too often. You were lucky too have neighbors that caught him . A few year’s ago I was hunting on my aunts land and a road hunter shot a deer drug it up behind my pickup which was inside a chained gate ,field dressed it ,leaving the gut pile three feet behind my truck . Talk about bold as hell . I was at the other end of a 280 acre parcel in a tree stand and couldn’t see my truck ,so yes you got real lucky .
Man I can't believe I'm 35, from Wisconsin, and I've never gone hunting ting in my life. Yall wanna do a "make a wish" next year, I'd love to go hunting with you guys.

This is why I hunt public land. It's getting worse every year having to beg permission from these new generation land owners. Technically those aren't your deer.. they belong to the state, as its not legal to keep wild deer as pets. If some random dude can get out there and beat you to knocking it down when you've had half the season pass already, with cameras up and patterned it all fall, then you are too slow. Get better and it would have never happened. Tearing through the area in a side by side probably isn't helping. Almost as bad as the "no hunting, someone shot my cow a couple years ago" greedy liars that want to keep everything to themselves. Like I said.. I hunt public land just to avoid these guys.
I have a 16 acre parcel that I only hunt in late season that holds a lot of deer. I rarely go out there. Last year I was sitting on the stand and one the neighbors was driving through the property with a bag of corn on the back of their 4 Wheeler. There is no way to tell who is trespassing if you don’t have someone watching out. It is aggravating. Hopefully they catch the perp. Enjoy your channel!

Thank you for giving me some time away and get things off my my mind about my 7 yr old son who we just got news he has a brain tumor! Hopefully it is not cancerous but we will know more in a few days!! Thank you for everything you do with these videos and love your son everyday because anything can happen.. 🙏🙏
Keep your head up!
@@FLAIR. Thank you 🙏
Prayers sent
That extremely stinks. Hate when people have to ruin stuff for the hard working. The time and effort you all have put into managing these deer to get beautiful deer.
I'm glad he was caught. Thanks for making the video to help the rest of us. We as hunters need to stop letting these people get away.
Hello, Flair. Hunters for the Hungry seems like a wonderful cause. I'm glad the venison isn't going to waste. It's great to have neighbours who will look out for your well-being.
It is very unfortunate that you have to deal with this, it happens all the time. Wish you luck on prosecuting the trespasser.
The poacher should have to pay a restoration fine also. That’s a hefty fine in itself. I don’t know if they make poachers pay restoration fines in every state but I think some states do or used too.
Yeah I agree. It’s good if the fine actually goes into game conservation and paying game wardens but if it just blindly goes to the state for them to use anywhere I’m not cool with that either. I think half should go to fish and game and half should go to the land owner as it’s his meat and time and money put into land management that helped produce that deer!! That would be fair I think, I just hope if it all goes to the state it goes to fish and game and not the politicians or stupid projects they decide.
I’m waiting for Flair to take Macy to the ranch to deer hunt!!!
So she can complain the whole time?
She's been to the cabin. Don't think she is the hunting type.
We don’t need anymore complaining in our lives
…….. she wont eat it so there’s absolutely no reason to
Good luck lol. She might if we say she won't enough 🤣
Keep us updated on the charges and what happens to this case
I second this, I want to know how hard this dude is gonna get slammed, lol.
Good on your neighbor to help you out. Sounds like you need to be exploring some other spots on your property to hunt though!
Dude, it's been almost 14 months, give us an update on this shit.
I’d like to hear the update
Gotta drag out the content
Wow! Great Neigbor & friend. Ethical hunters are making a huge difference nationwide combating poaching. Smartphones, game cameras, technology, etc. along with well trained Wardens are also a game changer fighting these lawless poachers.
Keep us informed on outcomes!
We appreciate the hard work you put in, bringing us this awesome content Flair!🔥🤟
What content you mean sitting in a structure and aiming a gun out a window? Not actually hunting or tracking the deer 🤣🤣🤣 Man people are so easy to please anymore it's not even funny.
Chris and his brother are such good guys!
@@WestonTaylor39 Chris?
@@SwimDeeep no he got a comment
Can’t wait for the updates. Sorry you all had to go through that. So glad you got him.
Great interaction with the Game Warden. Love to see the mutual respect!
I used to have trouble in poachers and trespassers on my place. About five years ago I caught this clown on my place and held him at gun point. I called my brother and the guy thought I was calling the game warden, which I already had. I smiled and said you wish. In about ten minutes my brother showed up with the Cat excavator. The guy asked what's with the excavator and I replied "Oh, that's for your body, see we don't call the cops". The dude actually broke down and started crying. About then the game warden pulled up and came over to where we were. He said "I'll take charge of this guy, you boys don't get to bury him and his truck today". The guy confessed everything to the game warden and got cuffed and stuffed in the warden's truck along with his gun and his truck was towed. The game warden and us had a good laugh and he said before he left" Okay boys, try not to kill nobody" and the dude passed out. Since then, poaching and trespassing has dropped way off. He-He.
@FLAIR absolutely happy to see that your neighbors work together with you, its always nice having like a neighborhood watch especially for poachers and other people causing mischief/damage.
A suggestion would be put a hidden camers at that spot, knowing this is where the guy goes. Also if this is the second time, I would do the same with the area the doe was shot and limping away. Atleast until you can bush up those areas. May also help you find "the freak" depending on the angle you choose. And keep an eye out incase this jerk decides to retaliate for being turned in.
Im glad Chris was at the right place at the right time. Im sorry that happened but Im glad the meat will help benefit people that need it and wont spoil. Im seriously wondering if that deer was the one you guys let go last hunting video so it could grow some, the points and antlers kinda look close, Im going to go back and watch. I would put that guy and his truck and plate on blast, to everyone in your town, or atleast your area.
He should be charged with the following:
Shooting from a roadway
Poaching
Did he have a valid hunting license?
Did he pay for the season?
Did he have his habitat stamp?
Did he hunt with a legal firearm?
Did he have a buck tag?
Cruelty to animals
Is he legally allowed to even own or carry a gun?
Does he have a record?
Loading or carrying a weapon on a highway
Not wearing orange
Tresspassing
Hunting on your property without permission
Harvesting a trophy buck
Failure to register/check station/telecheck his buck he shot
Failure to provide a serial number and security code on the permit.
He also couldve used OnX or the Public Access Atlas to find public land. There is NO excuse for what he did.
Id also put a restraining order on him against you, your family and your property; being this is something that was premeditated with the tp bs, and he had been circling many times. I also hope they take his drivers license and vehicle, along with all his guns, scopes, ammo.
It prolly was him with the doe and unless they got the doe and did a balistics there would be no way to prove it. He did however shoot this deer in the neck on purpose.
You need to get all Chris's footage and yours and blow it up and make a video, which im sure you will as this all unfolds. What a shame. I truly hope he serves JAIL if not PRISON time for this, especially being hes done this before, atleast with this strategy.
They should be able to get him on premeditated poaching, that in itself should get the major fines and jail. Im truly glad Chris was there, and you were able to get there so quick. Hoping this doesnt happen again, but seriously Id put up cameras in the gaps. I know it sounds stupid if you cant get plates but if you can get them getting on your property atleast they can tresspass them and maybe have a picture of the people doing it. Also you never know what people like this will do after theyve been turned in, always better to be safe then sorry.
Wishing you all the best, if I can think of any other ideas or if my brother has any I will pass them along. Glad to hear the meat is going to hunters for the hungry.
You may want to look at a case pertaining to Jacob Hueftle, after the U.S. Attorney's Office in Nebraska 2020.
Wishing you guys all the best finding the freak. Stay safe, stay orange and find a great one.
Add wanton waste of game, 5 years no hunting in Illinois.
Flair: we will need to build a brush wall.
Me: or work with the game warden and have a fake buck in your yard with cameras to catch shooters from the road with law waiting....that would be a cool Beefcake/UA-cam video.
Flair: shew!
I agree, entice a poacher and get them to make that mistake. It's one thing to stop and look to admire wildlife, but out of respect to the animal, the land owner, and to themselves, don't poach!
Isn't that entrapment 🤔
So glad that you were able to get the guy that did this to a deer on your land. Thanks for keeping us up to date on stuff like this that happens at the ranch.
We had 3 poached along a mile of road by my property in late june. Shot 2 like that, and one in the head, a doe. Waited till dark to drag them out. Someone saw her pulling the 3rd one off my friends property got a photo of plate and called dnr. They caught her when she was trying to get on the freeway.
Charged with 3 counts of poaching, tresspass, firing from a vehicle,firing from the road, loaded rifle in vehicle, out of season hunting, and something else that I can't remember right now.
Thanks to the neighbors for helping keep an eye out! You owe that man a few beers, steak dinner something!
I’m thankful that your neighbor was there and took the video and called you! I can’t stand a poacher or someone hunting without permission! It gives good, honest hunters a bad name with landowners who don’t hunt, and makes it harder to get permission to hunt on private land as well. I hope he gets prosecuted to the maximum!
Shout out to Chris and his brother . Good neighbors are hard to find these days . My family have this same problem , trespassing and illegal hunting on family property . It's sickening and he deserves the maximum punishment
Damn, That really sux!!! Glad y’all caught him!!! No telling how long he’s been doing this. You got awesome Nabor’s 👍🏻
We caught a poacher on public land years ago during archery season. My brother heard a gun shot, then a deer groaning. He snuck up and saw a guy with a shotgun under a tree stand. My bro went back to camp and told us. I encouraged him to call the DNR. The CO came out and we took him to the spot. He gathered a spent shotgun shell and the heart which fell out of the deer when the guy was dragging it. While we were out there with the CO, the dude walked down the 2-track thinking we were gone. No camo and shotgun in hand. My bro recognized him as he had talked to him on a previous day. He got arrested. Funny thing is that he shot the deer under a tree stand that had his name on it. Not too bright of a guy. We were happy he got busted.
you should rent a tree spade or have someone come out to transplant the trees onto the fence line. that way you won’t just have dead brush it will have foliage for more cover
Next year allow the game warden to put decoys out and catch poachers. Or put you own decoys out and record everything yourself a safe distance away.
That was a tank of a deer! Glad you have awesome neighbors! Also glad the meat gets donated to those in need!
“He neck shot it in the neck” that cracked me up… no neck shot it in the leg😅
Imagine being this guys family watching this video after Flair just cooked him😂
@@natetyler5565 deep nate. Even though no matter how hungry you are you should still never trespass and kill on another man’s land. If you need meat ask people. Hunters are the most giving people out there. Also he wasn’t hunting for food. He wanted wall hangers
@@natetyler5565 that’s his problem for being a piece of crap father
Me personally i think that all poachers should honestly be automatically sentenced to at least 5 years of jail time.
The worst part is that poachers exist and you just have to keep fighting them.
The best thing is that a lot of people showed up and helped.
Great content and i hope this doesn't happen ever again.
And banned from owning firearms as they can't follow the law.
Yup, I don't get permission from private land owners so I just hunt public land. It's better than nothing and there are deer out there, just not as easy with so much land to cover and so many places a deer can hide. As much as I would like to get a deer at times, poaching has never been an idea I entertained for more than a second as it's wrong, not fair to the animal or the land owner if it's private land. I will say this though, anytime I shot a deer on public land and it ran on private property, I've always got the permission from the land owner with no issues and often times they help me track it and load it. Only once did I have a farmer that questioned me and wanted to see where I shot it and then track it to where it went on his property, only later to find out he had issues with poachers.
@@toddk1377 id do the same thing. But i hunt on my families property. Ive killed 2 large does but not a buck yet but i wont kill a buck until a descent sized one walks out in me. Or if it is sick and needs put down
@@censorshipsucks9493 true. I just got what you were saying right now. I thought abt what it meant for a week
Dunk Banjo in syrup, roll in grain, feed to animals. We’re still waiting…
Hey Flair, if you're planning to transplant trees, your best bet is to do it during the dormant season - november thru february.. otherwise the trees will not make it!
You owe your neighbors a fresh loin when u take the freak down
Hate to see things like this happen. Looks like y’all handled this very nicely. Hope he gets what he deserves..
Always a good day when flair posts
You never never ever make any kind of threats against anybody on video, if anything ever would happen to them your the first person they come looking for.
💀💀
Exactly
Appreciate all the hard work you put in to these videos flair
Stopped watching the channel for a while because everything was repetitive but clicked on the video and I’m hooked again! Good content keep it up!
Passed on a few bucks that were 50-100 yards on private butted up next to public, you just wait your turn and do the right thing man.. shout out to Chris!
Can we have a trespasser update
This is one of the main reasons people are so skeptical about letting people hunt on their property's. People like this are what kills it for people like me who try to do everything by the book and correctly. Sorry you have to deal with people like that
My family always allowed people to hunt on their land as long as they didn't abuse the land. My grandfather always said that no one has the right to or owns wildlife. Just because a deer frequents someone property doesn't make the deer there property.
I agree. I've asked private land owners before and when I get the "no", there's a story of how someone screwed it up that comes with it.
@@toddk1377 On the flip side; I work with someone that doesn't allow anyone to hunt his couple hundred acres of land except for friends and family and then he doesn't give permission to take certain deer, "his deer" He basically feeds them 9 months out of the year. I tease him (sort of) with "why don't you just put them in a pen"
@@chrisanthony579
Lol, true, but understandable since that's a lot of time and money put into it.
Shows how inexperienced flair is when he is shocked by a neck shot
I found dove hunters on my ranch ONE time. It was a polite encounter as there were young hunters in the group. I explained it was my land. They thought my land was part of a large hunting consortium (NOT) that surrounds my property. My ranch in Texas is fenced. After talks with the consortium members my property is avoided like the plaque now.
I’m glad the neighbors were watching. I used to hunt and fish. I would always ask for permission to hunt on someone else’s property. If they say no I would move on to someone who would give me permission. As a property owner I don’t care if people hunt as long as they ask for permission.
I like how you donated the meat turned something bad into something positive
Pretty sure he doesn't have an option. The games and parks require it to be donated.
Bob is correct. Any poached animal the game warden catches will end up being donated.
Has to be donated if recovered. At least it didn't go to waste though.
You should have the Warden show you pictures of any racks he has at his house. You can then go back and look at trail cans and see if they’re any of the bucks you haven’t seen lately. He may have already killed the freak or a couple other big bucks. He probably is the guy who killed your doe for sure, just all his tricks and shit, it’s definitely not his first time.
Also remember that game wardens don't need warrants and have basically unlimited jurisdiction. They're not to be messed with
I know I don't want to run into mr green jeans when I'm hunting. Nothing illegal but no thanks on mr green jeans walking up. My area they are cracking down on wearing orange on private land this year.
They need warrants to search your home and several states don't abide by the open fields doctrine. They have to play by the same rules as any cop or federal agent does, unless their authority supersedes the constitution now.
They do in fact need warrants to search private property unless they get permission from the owner, which is usually what happens.
Flair is genuinely a great guy. If you seriously wanting to hunt on his land I'm sure emailing or trying to get in contact with flair he would be all for it. Not only let you have a good hunt but probably make a cool video helping a viewer get a deer. It's that simple. Just ask really. It doesn't hurt to ask.
We had poachers on our property. Confronting a poacher is a risky deal- you can get killed. The Game Warden told me to never confront a poacher, especially if they are deep in your property. He said if they are willing to go deep in your property, they willing to shoot you.
PS- neck shot because they don't run. No running means less chance getting caught.
Chris is good dude for helping you out most would not have
Hope you give an update on what happens to the poacher
The poacher most likely knows the area especially where to look for deer and where to get easy shots.
Most likely been doing it around the area for quite a while.
Flair struggling to get over the fence... hold my beer.
I love the heavy penalties for poaching. I love how they can just take ALL of the stuff even peripherally used to poach. The guns, ammo, camo, binocs, lights, truck, trailer etc.
One of my favorite poacher busted moments was on North Woods Law. A kid was busted and it turns out he was in college to be a game warden.
EDIT (THIS WAS DUMB. Your tree idea is way better) If I were you, I would put up a bigger fence. Doesn't need to be climb proof, just extremely hard to get a deer over.
Glad you have great neighbors to keep an eye out for you!!
Looking forward to an update on this one...Poachers are the scum of the earth! Glad you have a good community around your Ranch Andrew....otherwise you might have a whole gang of poachers out there!!
Man you gotta love neighbors looking out for you
I'm sure that if he asks your permission and offered you a case of beer of half of the deer it would have been a different story. I grew up on a farm that my great grandfather owned and he would allow most people to hunt and fish the property as long as they asked and didn't leave trash.
wow your grandfather sounds like amazing man. He's one in a million though. Here in Texas land owners are greedy assholes
Yeah, then you have every brazen a$$ in the county coming with his best bud….then their cousin, then their girlfriend…it never ends.
Thanks for making me aware of poaching and trespassing , had no idea that was illegal and “ not cool “ , thank God for UA-camrs.
Thanks for raising awareness about trespassering
Chris & Family are Great Neighbors! You should keep Em...
Love the vids man keep up the great work I hope the best for you and your family ❤️
Poachers caught should serve a lifetime sentence where we have a open season to shoot poachers with paintball and airsoft lol. Let them feel the heat for a couple weeks a year.
Had this happen to us once. I was in a tree on creek bottom watching the field in front of me, wind directly blowing from my right to left. Road 150 yards to my right. And a another bottom behind me, during rifle season, I was bow hunting. All of a sudden I hear bang! N like I almost fell out of the stand a buck had came out in the bottoms behind me and a guy shot it from the road, not only was it a 150 inch 10 point, but the one I was hunting heading straight for me. At 9 am.
I saw the truck, but couldn’t get tags and time I climbed down and got out there they were gone, with the buck. The game wardens were called as soon as I realized what was happening. The guys got away as far as I know. But it won’t happen again. The very next day we enrolled those two bottoms into the wetlands restoration project, and now 5 years later it’s 80 acres of the thickest stuff 15-25 ft high you could imagine. All because a poacher was too sorry to hunt right.
it’s always a good day when flair post
man that's awesome. dude, Chris deserves at least a really nice dinner if not a reward of sorts:). would love to have neighbors like that.
I don't have anything like a game ranch. But my little 8 acres of woods, streams and beaver ponds, is my land.
Found a fella setting up a stand last year, said he had permission. As we are both armed, and in the middle of the woods, it was important to stay cordial.
But end of the day, I told him he was on camera, on my land, and respectfully said he was not welcome, but to feel free to call the authorities.
You make a very good point you never know whose armed in the woods and if it's a poacher they may not have the ethics of a regular Hunter should have with firearm safety and they may just turn it on you I imagine they would turn it on a game warden as well and they may be superior forced to deal with it is never a good idea to pick a gunfight even if armed god dammit and they pretend us former military are all bloodthirsty crazy gun fanatics when we are the safest next to hunters when it comes to weapons safety especially former infantry Marines
@@harrydick3300 People forget that a gun is only a tool, that is true. A bad person is more likely to use a tool for bad , and a good for good etc... But the main thing I worry about is training, and on some levels access. Because lots of folks forget that while it is a powerful tool, it is not the right tool for most situations.
It is awesome that you and your neighbors are good friends!!!
Best neighbors in the world! Never move!
Flair you got some great neighbors man. We take care of each other like that down here in Texas. Sucks that happened to you but hopefully the warden sticks it to that poacher! Good luck hunting the freak 🤙
Arms family homestead had the same problem
Yea that is what I was going to say
But they did kill a deer on arms family homestead they were the ones almost shot
I’m from California dead smack in the Silicon Valley so you can assume their isn’t a lot of hunting going around here nor is there such great neighbors to go out their way to approach someone Armed! And then confront them. God bless all of you.
Florida laws on trespassing is, 1 simple trespass gets escorted off. 2 trespass with a firearm is a felony. 3 trespass by projectile is a felony. So I think you should go for it
Well definitely different. Sitting in a heated box having coffee and conversation with your rifle on a led sled impossible to miss. Meanwhile I sit under a ponderosa pine on the side of a mountain in Central Pennsylvania freezing my ass off. My conversation with myself is damn if and that's a big if I shoot one I have to drag its ass down one mountain and up another lol. 😂🤷♂️
Yeah, i don't think Indians would consider what these guys do as hunting, lol
@mpayne8206 I usually watch about the first 5 min or so then I get disgusted. Very few real deal hunting videos on UA-cam anymore. I'd speculate 95% of them are paying $$$$$
Sitting in a heated box with a lead sled to shoot from. Sounds more like shooting than hunting.
love the video so far brotherkeep up the great work and it is a great day when flair post please keep up the deer and duck hunting and can not wait for the trappen videos to
Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law
Much respect for donating. I have donated some myself..."Hunting for the Hungry".....
Unfortunately this kind of crap happens way too often. You were lucky too have neighbors that caught him . A few year’s ago I was hunting on my aunts land and a road hunter shot a deer drug it up behind my pickup which was inside a chained gate ,field dressed it ,leaving the gut pile three feet behind my truck . Talk about bold as hell . I was at the other end of a 280 acre parcel in a tree stand and couldn’t see my truck ,so yes you got real lucky .
A guy like that doesn't care about a license
Man I can't believe I'm 35, from Wisconsin, and I've never gone hunting ting in my life. Yall wanna do a "make a wish" next year, I'd love to go hunting with you guys. Keep up the great vids and stay safe out there, poachers are no joke and confronting them is dangerous as hell I'd assume. Your neighbors are fantastic people too. And as always the shooting competition for you and banjo still stands, your range my game, I'll bet I'll beat ya both.

Flair does so much work on his ranch to keep big bucks there and just to some some asshole walks in and kills one.
If it was me, there would be a game camera every 50 foot all the way down that property😂😂
This is why I hunt public land. It's getting worse every year having to beg permission from these new generation land owners. Technically those aren't your deer.. they belong to the state, as its not legal to keep wild deer as pets.
If some random dude can get out there and beat you to knocking it down when you've had half the season pass already, with cameras up and patterned it all fall, then you are too slow. Get better and it would have never happened.
Tearing through the area in a side by side probably isn't helping. Almost as bad as the "no hunting, someone shot my cow a couple years ago" greedy liars that want to keep everything to themselves. Like I said.. I hunt public land just to avoid these guys.
Great neighbors! It’s a crying shame y’all have to talk about moving trees so people can’t take a shot from the road. People suck nowadays.
I love you flar and I can't thank you enough for geting me back into hunting and trading again thank you man
Is it just me of does it seem like the trespassing and shearing in the hunting and fishing world is just blowing up and it’s about time
I have a 16 acre parcel that I only hunt in late season that holds a lot of deer. I rarely go out there. Last year I was sitting on the stand and one the neighbors was driving through the property with a bag of corn on the back of their 4 Wheeler. There is no way to tell who is trespassing if you don’t have someone watching out. It is aggravating. Hopefully they catch the perp. Enjoy your channel!
