Hey fellas,
A good mate has a video of a poacher's vehicle last night in the Waikato region.
They shot a pet deer in the field below his home after claiming they were shooting possums.
If anyone knows who owns a grey Suzuki with rego BCR281 please Pm me.
Cheers

I feel like this would be better given to the police than on a public forum.Quote:

We already have mate but it will most likely get filed with the rest...
Put it up on a 4wd forum, there are a few on there who will track it for you...only took me 2 hours for name, address, his girl friends trade me user name, when i wanted info
Easy to find it is Grey 1992 Suzuki Escudo Nomade, with 82860Kms on the clock .
So police could be there today, but as you say, it won't happen !
Does the post office still provide an address for a fee these days
if you have a mate or contact in car sales they can get you a name (owner) PDQ
Thanks for the advice gents. I also have a friend who has prosecuted poachers so I'll update if there is any news to report.
Wifey just show me this on the area faceplant page. @SlimySquirrel do you know which exact area? I'll ask around.
I’m sure there must be some good cops in NZ, and they have my respect, but the ones I have dealt with have been useless, lazy and disinterested.
Nothing against cops - my brother was one for 19 years in Aus. He doesn’t rate the NZ version much either.

On top of that if they feel they had been photographed they might have gotten rid of any evidence at their place.
Unless they were seen with a gun in their car or seen shooting at a stag, it might be hard to prove anything.
Good luck anyway.
The owner of the vehicle has been in touch.
Claims that he only had a .22 in the car..... plenty of evidence at the moment and there was more than one person in the car so it will be a race to see who rats on who as no one will want the blame for this.
I have a QC looking into it. The same QC who prosecuted a poaching ring so they know their stuff and there are multiple charges that will be laid on top of the poaching charge.
I just hope the judge is out of wet bus tickets and gives out something much heavierQuote:

Yer there's a lot of it going on in our area at present. This is from the weekend just down the road.

Sounds to me like the guy has made contact in order to do some damage control and avoid the courts!
I'll say this.
Yes. To all the above.
Also, we live in some pretty shitty times right now so some people will be desperate and I get that.
If you need something that you don't have, then ask. The land owner is one of the most generous people I know.
He's hard working and takes nothing for granted.
He also does not want an unknown armed random shooting around his house or property particularly in the middle of the night.
It gets worse.
Just heard from the land owner.
They've just found the deer dying still after all this time. They shot him in the face and left him for dead.
I can not like that at all...mongrel bastards....
Throw the book at them !!!!Quote:

Here is the animal as they found him.
Last few breaths were taken when the land owner turned up.

Gaping wound under his jaw.
A slow sad cruel death to the poor deer.Not good.
That number plate is blocked against information being given out as to who is registered owner of vehicle...so I have been told...someone must have some cloutQuote:

I've done it to my family cars because I don't fancy a visit by feral shit having been spotted at a gun shop or a range etc.Quote:

Hmmm, interesting. I dont think I'm being paranoid to say that makes a fair bit of sense. Have you seen any downsides in dealing with insurers or car purchases etc like they mention on the webpage?Quote:

Pretty sure he wasn't a big fan of having his plates all over the various forums but trespassing at 3:30 am will do that to you.
Waiting on the Police to do their thing lads.
Thanks for the update. He must be packing his pants about now. Good job.
A guy was caught up our way stealing stock couple weeks ago, had a home kill setup in a van. He went to court last week with good police work but not happy with pictures of his van been sent around face book, complained to the judge he was been picked on

Yeah, It's easy to cry the victim status when you get caught.
The best defense is offense?
He'd be pretty anxious now I'd say.
Don't blame him.
Problem is you can be judged on one act when you've made many other selfless acts in the past.
I feel for him but consequence and accountability are crucial for the learning process in all walks of life.
Yes indeed. He will eventually get over what comes his way and hopefully learn from his mistake. He could be a genuine GC in his past exploits. You just never know.
It doesn’t matter if he was a saint right up until the night in question as he threw his sainthood out the window and became scum of the earth on the night.
Difference between a premeditated act and a chance encounter with a deer stepping 5 mtrs out of DOC onto private land
Totally agree. If you do the crime you do the time, regardless of whether you have been a good citizen in the past.Quote:
