The DNR you have sucks bull cock. Our DNR managed to stop a poacher the was coming in to the area and poaching at night and back home in the morning a county away. The clues were a few bodies and people calling in about shots at night. This led to the discovery of the scope this really covered. Maybe in a few days I can expand on this with online sources. It’s a few years old.

The OP only mentioned calling the sheriff, not the DNR.

To hell with the sheriff — sounds like a good-ol’-boy who’d think all that shootin’ is fun — call the DNR. They enforce hunting laws.

Upon re-reading I saw he mentioned the “game warden” but I don’t know if that was the local office or what. The main office for the county/state might take a bit more interest, especially upon hearing that someone’s shooting onto someone else’s property to do it.

Here is the story on the illegal hunting involving a guide and people from many states. The guide ran Blue River Outfitters. This involved the southern areas of Wisconsin. [Blue River Outfitters and Illegal Hunting Operation.](http://dnr.wi.gov/org/caer/ce/news/rbnews/2005/111005scr1.htm)  
[This article has better details than the above.](http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1519835/posts)

I’m giving up on the other one I was looking for. I find little references, but no comprehensive article.

Time to call your local Game Warden or State DNR (Department of Natural Resources). Keep track of all the deer being killed, get pictures.

If the vandal children are not the deer killers, dress the problem neighbour children in deer costumes.
