I committed the sin of rewarding immorality and spent the $17 for the “book”- it’s really more like a high end magazine but cheaply printed. It’s got some interesting recounts of this guys’ crazy and dangerous exploits as a poacher of deer, Nalgai, antelope and exotics in south Texas, far west Texas, trans pecos, and the hill country. Whoever edited it either was under the influence or couldn’t pass a high school journalism class and is severely spelling challenged. Typo after typo.
That qualifier issued, its entertaining and confirms the extensive network of serious poacher networks there are in Texas. They are even loosely organized with monthly meetings and annual awards events! They have biblically rationalized their illegal antics in a “Robin Hood” vs the King- aka greedy elite ranch owners sort of attitude. Revenge for unfair system of private landowners limiting access for hunting “the people’s” wild game.
In the process, they apparently kill a lot more pedestrian / average bucks than Booners, at best caping them out and salvaging heads only in most cases. Also imply tie-in to local taxidermists in numerous cases in Texas.
Won’t give away more here in case you want to read it. If your conscience can abide it, as a lifelong hunter it’s a great expose of the dark side. This guy is no Daisy. He makes no effort to atone or apologize for youthful but sick episodes of vandalism, killing songbirds, wasting game/ meat, and theft. Suggest you not share with impressionable youngsters.Last edited by Pineywoods Paul; 11-21-2018, 09:40 PM.

The copy I read was paper copied and stapled. I thought there was no way anyone would ever publish something like that... Guess I was wrong. The real accounts are wild, but I have to wander, how great could he have been if he would have just been a straight forward guide? For those who have read the published book, did it give names of any others who he "took in to hunt"? The rough draft listed a few.
There was an organized club that would hand out awards every year for the best deer poached.

Keep in mind that back when he was poaching, a big deer was 170". There were no feeding programs going on then.
