Illegal hunters point out other offenders...
On November 22, 2008, Conservation Police Officer C. W. Billhimer located a baited tree stand in Shenandoah County. He issued a summons to the hunter for hunting over bait. Billhimer asked the first hunter if anyone else was hunting the property and where they were located. The violator pointed him in the direction of his friend who was hunting nearby who was discovered to be hunting without a license. Officer Billhimer asked the friend the same question that he asked the first hunter. The friend then pointed Billhimer in the direction of the first hunter's brother who was found to be hunting over bait. The hunters were all issued a summons for the appropriate violations. These hunters then pointed Officer Billhimer in the direction of a neighboring hunt club property. CPO Billhimer found another hunter hunting over bait on the hunt club property. Billhimer issued him a summons for the violation. Sgt. Warren was nearby and observed a deer hanging beside a cabin and signaled Billhimer to investigate. Officer Billhimer eventually issued a summons to another hunter for the illegal possession of a deer. The hunter claimed that someone gave him the deer at a stoplight. The deer had not been properly checked.
