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. This. But you do what's in your own heart. I've had to disassociate with many guys like this ( some not as bad, some even worse!) through the years. I have no tolerance for them.

Sounds like you know right from wrong.. Just do what in your heart is the right thing.
He'll get his regardless.

if you associate with him after knowing this, you are a damn fool in my opinion. let the women do their thing and let your wife know exactly what is up. his wife may be up to some sort of schit too. i made up my mind many decades ago to not associate with scumbags. and i know/knew a lot of scumbags of all types. i lost quite a few "friends" over this decision.
and no, i would not narc on him. just get rid of the situation entirely and consider yourself lucky

Cut the rope and walk away before he causes you some SERIOUS trouble with the law. If he is as self centered and bad as you say he is, he will trip over his own dikk soon enough.

They kept drinking all my beer probably makes them church potlucks a bit uncomfortable. i hate sharing fold-up tables with people i don't like.

I would wish him good luck with his hunts and go do my own thing. I had a similar situation years ago with a guest of another member of our Florida lease, The guy latch on to me after he found out I was out at the lease every weekend and started calling me on Thursdays asking if I was going out there and basically inviting himself along. After a few weeks of making bs excuses why I couldn't take him I ran into him at the grocery where he proceeded to give me sht about not taking him along. I just told him I had other guests I needed to take and if he wanted to hunt every weekend he should probably get his own membership in a lease or find a place to hunt with permission. That was the last I seen or heard from him.

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

OP, can’t you figure out when you’re being used? The guy invites you to hunt with him and you end up driving and bringing his horses? The guy says he’ll tag along and then you end up dragging horses. The guy “volunteers” for something and then wants consideration in return? Then he talks down to you? He also tells you he will hunt legally or illegally. Geez. He isn’t a friend. He is a parasite and a liability. Your (or society’s) concerns don’t matter to him. Run, Forrest, Run! If he gets mad, so what. Surely your wife would understand that.
As for diming the guy out, I am not sure what that would accomplish. If you tell game and fish that Joe Blow has an archery tag and said that he intends to hunt with a muzzle loader during the upcoming archery season, and to go find him in the middle of nowhere Colorado and catch him in the act, that is going to be quite a long shot. If you tell them that Joe Blow says that he hunted with a muzzle loader during archery season in the past, that won’t come close to proving a case beyond a reasonable doubt. If it makes you feel better, fine, but don’t expect that it will do much.

This. You're basically accusing him of a thought crime. He's thinking about doing something that he hasn't done yet. Yay, 'Merica, you just went full commie. Otherwise, I'd disassociate myself from an obvious jerk who simply uses people under the guise of being friends.

We may or may not have burned one of our guys. He had a bad habit of shooting elk on his archery tag and going back and filling another bull tag on his wife’s tag. A tip to the fish cop made for a surprise visit from the red shirts at the trailhead. They played along with his dumb dumb routine and let him go there. I heard the 6am raid on his house the next day was spectacular. 😀😀
Fug poachers.

I'd distance myself from him, but I'd never call the game warden on a neighbor. Them fuqkers wouldn't make many cases if they didn't get all their snitch phone calls. Pisses me off to see a guy get in more trouble for a game violation than if he committed a violent crime or is a drug dealer.

Just a guess here but it's possible the situation might resolve itself without you making a phone call to Co. F&G. If the man is carrying a rifle, muzzle loader or cartridge rifle out in the forests during ARCHERY ONLY season, some archery hunters are bound to see him. They very well might call the game wardens themselves and report a "poacher."
Problem solved.
As others said, however, get rid of this guy. He's bad medicine.

Maybe the op knows where he likes to poach elkes? Just a randumb thought. Lot of rifle toting bear hunters used to accidently bust a bull years ago in Co when i was hunting elk legally with a bow (in archery season).

I think the poacher was proposing hunting during the muzzleloader season with an archery tag in his pocket, Could be wrong, either way get away from the clown and if you hear he followed through on his plan and harvest an elk, turn him in

If he was taking 10 deer a year out of the area you hunt? 20? More than 20?
