Alabama Deer Poaching Problem

In 1978, the director of the Alabama Game and Fish Department
(AG&F) telephoned the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Law
Enforcement's Washington office requesting assistance with a poaching
problem. I was Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of the Special Operations unit
and the call was passed through to me. The director advised he'd heard of our
covert endeavors and expressed hope of receiving assistance with what he
said was "a very difficult situation."

He described the problem as involving numerous individuals who
individually and collectively were killing deer in Alabama and selling the
meat in Florida and Georgia. He said that their enforcement people were not
trained in covert activities and asked for any help we might extend them.
