Need to use a cell cam - so if he sees the cam, it may be too late to steal it.
with the current season structure, legal AR hunters get about 3 weeks to hunt, and poacher season is about five or six weeks. Lots of turkey hunters are in the woods scouting before turkey season, so the poachers blend right in. If the AR season was earlier and closed earlier - it would restrict the time poachers get to hunt by themselves. And, there would be very few active poachers after season, and no legal turkey scouters, making it much easier for GW to key in on vehicles in the turkey woods.
Remember back in the 80’s when AR had a season opening date of Apr 1 and turkey populations were expanding across the state? How could that be when all those early gobblers were killed, completely disrupting the mating hierarchy?
