Yes, pictures and document times, then give it to the DNR. Also, whenever you see him out there, call the Police or DNR immediately. They may not come right away, but if you keep calling, eventually they'll respond in a timely manner just to get your calls to stop. Also, try to have the camera's positioned so as to pick up a landmark (such as a house, barn, high-tension wire tower, etc.) so that it's location can easily be resolved from the picture.

the problem is that the woods is so huge there isn't anywhere that I've seen his stuff or seen him that I can find a place to put a camera with a landmark, but I could probably set one up by where he usually sets up, if it catches him shooting, then I could probably see him shooting, have it see the shells land on the ground, then go in and say "hey, I have a guy on camera shooting these illegally" and the cops could probably identify whose gun shot them, wait, no, that's the bullet not the shell, never mind, but the only landmark is a row of pine trees planted in a straight line near the east part of the woods, but I've never seen him there, so the issue there would be seeing if he went through there to go out to his spot, I think I'll just put a camera up by every tree I've seen him use.

Call the conservation department. their Law Enfocement tactis are designed especially for poachers; at the very least, they can advise you better then the police.

Looked up the Missouri DOC as Michigan does not have one, and the best course of action based off of that is to look at the poachers vehicle and stuff, and description of the guy, the problem I have thought of with finding his vehicle, is I don't know where it would be, I see where it has been, and it's an off road vehicle, not a huge truck, maybe a jeep, but if I see him, I really think it would be an INCREDIBLY stupid thing to follow him back to his vehicle, because he could notice me following him and get ticked off, what I could probably do, I have a couple suits I have, or can make that I use while nerfing that are covered with foliage of whatever season it is (sticks, leaves, a couple branches) I could make one of these and put it on, one point with ruts is by a little pine grove forest thingy with a couple trees, I could go under one of those with a camera and/or paper to write down his license plate number that way, but that could get really, really boring if I have to sit there for half a day or more and wait for him to show up but hopefully it results in him stopping what he's doing.

what the MDC has to say:

If you witness or suspect a wildlife violation, report it to your local conservation agent or call the toll-free number —1-800-392-1111— which is manned 24 hours a day. You may remain anonymous, and you may ask to be considered for a reward if you wish.

If you provide information that results in an arrest and you’ve asked to be considered for a reward, your agent will refer this request to a citizen board of the Conservation Federation of Missouri. That board assigns a reward based on the severity of the violation involved. Rewards range from $50 to $1000.

Program 1-800-392-1111 into your cell phone— so you can act fast!
Your cell phone programmed with the toll-free number will help you take immediate action when you see violations in the field. Do not attempt to intervene yourself.

When you call, you will be asked simple questions, the answers to which will be vital to the investigation. Here are a few things to remember when you witness a suspected violation.

Nature of suspected illegal activity
Date and time of violation
The suspect’s identity, if possible
Description of the suspects and vehicles

actually Michigan does have one, it's just called the department of natural resourses (DNR) which I just didn't recognise when I even saw El Mahdi mention it just too tired right now to think 100% normally

here is what the DNR has to say:

As a trapper, you may learn about hunting or trapping violations that need
to be stopped. Never confront a violator or get directly involved without an
officer present. Instead, observe the situation and quickly report it to your
local conservation officer. Provide descriptions of the violators, vehicles,
license plate numbers, locations, and times.
Most states have established programs to stop poaching with toll-free
telephone numbers to call when you need to report a violation. These
programs go by names such as &#8220RAP&#8221 which stands for &#8220Report All
Poaching.&#8221 Many states provide rewards for information that leads to the
arrest and conviction of violators. In Michigan, you may qualify for a reward
if you furnish information that leads to the arrest and conviction of a person
or persons taking, attempting to take, possessing or commercializing in
wildlife resources contrary to Michigan or Federal law. Assistance in applying
for a reward will be provided by the conservation officer handling your
complaint, or assistance may be obtained from one of the Report All Poaching
hotline operators. Callers can remain anonymous.

actually, that is messed up somehow, here is a link to the website: link

EDIT: went out and made the suit out of an old brownish shirt that I had, put on a bunch of old dead grass from my sort of back yard, then a few old leaves, and a couple twigs, I also went and found some empty shells that are now sitting next to me, .223, which fits AR 15, which I've seen him using.

triple post, yikes!

 

[Scott DeWar]

Use extream caution.

 

[GandalfMithrandir]

for sure, I scouted it out, as I don't think he's around during the day except sometimes, but I checked by the jeep ruts and there were no fresh tracks, so I found a spot where I cannot be seen from the south (where he would come from) and still be hidden from the north (if he happened to look in the rear view mirror) so I will set up shop there sometime
