And the idea that someone is going to poach a deer and throw it in the back of the truck on the way home from work is also laughable. The penalties for poaching are far too harsh for anyone who cares about ever hunting, fishing, or owning a gun for the rest of their lives. It's not something that happens in broad daylight for sure.

Oh man, you'd be surprised - I'm an avid predator hunter and spend ridiculous amounts of time out in hay fields at 2:00 AM with a night vision system, and you would not believe the stories I've got about poachers. One night, I had a couple of good old boys roll up and shoot a deer that couldn't have been more than about 75 yards away from me.

EDIT: There's a whole cottage industry around robot wildlife that are used to catch poachers, both day and night: http://www.roboticwildlife.com/enforcement_decoys/index.php

I wasn't going to go there, but you are correct. No part of the story makes sense.
