073 Scott Gray - Reformed Poacher

Wayne, Lt. Jim Kneeland, and reformed poacher Scott Gray gather to discuss Scott's poaching scheme that started in the 1990s. He took poaching to a new level. He practiced at home to see how how quiet he could make his weapons, buried a freezer in his shed, and believe it or not, once took the warden's entry test. Wayne discusses with Scott and Lt. Kneeland, Scott's tactics, preparation, and to what extent he took his illegal craft, and how it all changed one day.
