I checked my camera's

If you are going to hunting rifle and want to do it in the rec area you better make sure you don't walk in front of a camera. You better know your boundaries before you start hunting with a rifle in the archery only area. People can be so lame. Hunt legally and stop screwing it all up for the rest of us. If you get caught then you hurt us all. You give the Anti's nothing but ammo to put more rules and regulations on our already over regulated hunting area.

I think they know what their doing and just don't care

You are correct! Some guys are ignorant and others don't care about following the rules.

I have heard a few people say that a "friend" of theirs hunted in a particular area of the Rec. Area with a rifle and after they show me where they were I make sure I give them grief about and let them know that they aren't supposed to be there with a rifle and they are going to screw it up for everyone else.

Personally I have hunted near the Recreation Area with my rifle and make sure I know the boundry lines for the Rec. Area and the surrounding Private Property because I want to make sure I am obeying the laws and regulations. I even keep an app on my iPhone that shows me everything just to be 100% sure.

Some people just don't care if they mess it up for everyone else.

I wont show the picture. If I saw more and saw this clown doing it frequently I might look at other actions to deal with it. Just remember people, cameras are everywhere.

report it to the NF, let them take care of it. it's the Rangers job. last thing we need is joker wandering a round in the rec area with rifles or shotguns.

I checked some cams this morning in the rec area. 2 hunters been working the area at night. I'm not talking walking out after dark from tree strand. I'm talking hrs! After sunset. Spot lights and arrows loaded in hand!! Scum bags can not do it right so they cheat.

Moral to the story....You can't rifle hunt in the Laguna Recreation Area and if you do, you might want to smile for the camera. ;D

If anyone is unsure of the boundaries, get a map and familiarize yourself with it.

OK that makes sense I hunt an area til dark & next morning I come back. I find deer guts covered up next to the road. & It was very obvious.
I would definitely report that to NF enforcement. we don't need jokers spotlighting at night.

Well one thing to think about when it comes to night hunting. It is legal to hunt and spotlight predators in the night hours now that the general deer season is closed. So with that being said it could be predator hunters and it is legal.

 

[Cali Ridge Runner]

I have them on 3 different nights , with the last night being Sunday the 24th so I would say they were poachers or may be pradator hunters not knowing the law to the fullest.

The area is Archery only area , D-16 & A-22 . the guts where deer,and not a predator. I know that for sure. I know what deer guts look like.
if you have guy's poaching. and seen with camera's, you decide. I had no proof of who did it.

I'm not saying there was no poachers I'm just saying you have to remember also that the people with lights and bows could be predator hunters. The best thing to do is let fish and game figure it out. I mean fish and wildlife.

Should the moral of the story include not bow-hunting after hours too? Just saying...

 

[Cali Ridge Runner]

Yes! Makes sense why only one is carrying a bow. The other the spotlight. Mmmmmmmmmm

 

[Tanner]

I believe it is legal to walk through the rec area with a rifle

 

[wheels]

Well I am not sure about that. I would guess you would have to take that up with the ranger and ask that question if you were to get caught. Maybe this is a option but I would say that the picture I have or should I say two I have looks like it he was in pursuit of an animal just the way the rifle was being carried.
