Recently been reading about how African poachers poisen what's left over of any animals they have killed to kill vultures on mass that can give their position away to game wardens. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Recently been reading about how African poachers poisen what's left over of any animals they have killed to kill vultures on mass that can give their position away to game wardens. Thanks to WDog's original post l had to look up just what one of the dead animals in one of the pictures was . I settled on a nilgai antelope . Obviously not a Texan native species . Anyway the power of Google dragged me deeper . I ended watching enough of Charles Beaty's interviews and podcasts to be pretty sure he's the real deal. Prince of Poachers or not , anyone who's lived long enough and hunted regularly will have plenty of real stories to tell without too much reason for embellishment. The way he recalls details of memorable hunts and and escapes rings as authentic . As interesting as his own experiences are , the tales he tells involving other illegal hunters and the Texas " poaching culture " of the period puts things in a wider perspective. Those massive ranches he hunted over are the result financial dealing and land grabbing dating back to before the Civil War . Imagine the fat cattle barons of the old cowboy films then add a history of international smuggling ,oil wealth and a whole lot more to the equation . Fines for getting on the wrong side of the hunting law were pretty minimal at the time . The ranch owners could afford to get away with being a bit more expressive of their displeasure . TATs if you watch one of his interviews he mentions buzzards too fat to fly! Edited January 13 by comanche 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We was happy if we didn't get a tug or seen. Mobile phones becoming so good f****d it up social media more so too. When the big dopey phones were about it was bad. Lol. At age of 15 I was out working dogs. People back then had the Nokia things no camera. They may of rang coppers but couldn't pin point where they were if there not used to the area.
