1026,
This guy was not poaching though I do agree with the article you posted. Many Hmong simply do not understand the hunting regulations but they are not violating out of spite, just lack of knowledge. This guy has no excuse. He was an avid hunter according to his family and damn well should have known the rules. He has been in the country since 1980, served in the U.S. Army and spoke and read fluent english. He was a liscensed deer hunter according to LE press releases. That was how they found out who he was so fast, by his tag number. Every deer hunter in Wisconsin has to wear their tag number on their back so hunters can report poachers and regulation violators to the DNR. One of the wounded gave his tag number to law enforcement and another scratched it into the dusty seat cover of an ATV. This guy was however trespassing and in the wrong to be in a stand on private property without permission. The hunters on this board will tell you that doing that is a hunting no-no. My Dad and I were hunting about 35 miles from the scene when it happened. He called me on my radio and told me about it before a couple hours after it happened before they caught the guy. Thats how fast the word spread. Then I get home today and find out I went to high school with one of the murdered. Damn small world. RIP Mark Roidt and to all the other victims.
