Robodeer Stops Poachers In The Act

[CTC Command]

A robotic deer is the newest tool by law enforcement in Northwest Indiana to combat against illegal hunters.

As CBS 2 Northwest Indiana Bureau Chief Pamela Jones reports, the robotic deer has a swiveling head, and it's lifelike enough to stop traffic.

But it's really a decoy being used all over Northwest Indiana, and it's fooling a lot of suspected deer poachers whom Indiana conservation officers are catching in the act.

Indiana State Conservation Officer Gene Davis said: "[The decoy] is gaining popularity because it's actually being shot more. The people that are hunting that are seeing it they're just dumfounded by it. They're thinking a deer is standing along the road, they'll get out and take a shot at it."

Great pic hunter. I personally think that if you poach any animal out of season you deserve to get busted.
