Ok fellas, a neighbor of mine invited me to go with him elk hunting a few years back where he at the last minute wanted me to pull horses. The next year I drew a 1st rifle and he drew a muzzle loader bull tag but wanted to go with me after he returned from his hunt in Sept. So I reluctantly agreed then a few days before we are to leave he wants me to drag those dang horses a 1000 miles up there. He bought only 2 of 10 tanks of gas . I did kill a elk and he said his services should take care his share of the gas.
Now as you can imagine I've kind of had my fill of this fella . Now recently he wanted (over anxiously)help me with some work on my deer lease only to find out that he expected tresspass prevledges in return so I told him not to worry about it .
Now this fella goes to CO. every year to elk hunt either muzzle loader or rifle. While riding home from the last trip I asked what he did when he didn't draw he said he would buy a archery and go during muzzleloading season....ya know what I mean. He said he has never been checked out of camp.
Well this year he didn't draw and his plan is to hunt with an archery tag while using a muzzle loader.
Should I put a bug in the right folks ear?
Do what you think is best. Personally, I wouldn't, but I'm not a rat.

His stating an illegal plan was a gift.
You have an out.
And its justified.
Your wife should accept that as well

If he is apparently that much of a dirtbag hunter, wouldn't it be in his nature to try and shift some blame onto you if he got busted while you two were sharing a camp?? Consider that.

At some point you could be considered an accomplice. Many states confiscate anything and everything associated with a hunting infraction, truck, trailer, tack, guns …..everything.

That is often the way we handled it. Charge everyone in the truck or camp with possession of illegally taken game. Let it get sorted out in court or before court by lawyers and prosecutors. If you leave out a possible guilty party they are liable to use the empty chair defense. As in the possible culprit that didn't get charged.

The guy's bad ju ju, you should have parted ways with him long ago. Turn him in and you're probably at risk for revenge, so gotta ask yourself if it's worth it. He'll get caught eventually.

ETA: With this guy you may find yourself in a situation where you’re unable to buy a hunting license in any reciprocal state and there are many reciprocal states.

Run away- do not walk. Burn him anonymously Fook the wives. I maybe should refraise that? And definitely do not tell or indicate to either wife you burned him Take the hypocrisy oath!

It could be handled by telling him that in light of your wives being friends you would like to remain socially cordial but be up front and tell him you have considered calling Colorado F&G on him. Just tell him you are not a poacher and that while you can be neighbors on good terms you are not going to jail with him and not putting yourself at risk and suspicion by hunting with him. And tell your wife what you told him so she doesn't get blindsided.

The way thi fella talked down to me when I declined his offer it was tough to walk away. He is a thief and a slight on law abiding sportsman . Then why do you need an online forum's consensus to do what you know is the right thing? I mean are you wanting one of us to do it for you, or... ?

Go undercover for the CO Frog and Grouse department, set up a sting operation, wear a wire, use hidden surveillance cameras, GPS tracking, cell phone tracking, car chases, color your hair, stake-outs, bribes, booze, drugs, and hot women. Just like they do on Netflix drug shows/To catch a Predator/and the Maine game warden show. It should be fun and exciting. Live a little. Great stories down the road!

Show up at his house like this and if he doesn’t shoot you, he won’t ever ask to go with you again. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/TYqgLXnq/PXL-20210722-161737029-3.jpg)
