POACHING -- A clueless landowner, who described deer on his property as "rodents," has been charged with shooting and killing more than 30 deer over several  years and leaving them to rot on his property near Thorpe, Washington.

According to the Daily Record, Rodney Arnold Lang, 63, told Washington Fish and Wildlife police that he had a right to defend his property from deer that came into his land and orchard.

The man never filed a complaint or claim for any wildlife damage, department officials said.

He apparently followed only two of the three S's:  He Shot and Shut up, but he didn't Shovel.

Thanks go out to the neighbor who saw some carcasses and a pile of bones from the past and turned in the selfish poacher.
