"Poacher ChroniclesTM " Celebrates Ten Year Anniversary

Ten years ago Jim Solomon, currently the co-owner of the outdoor radio show "Xplor the Outdoors with Jim and Patti", approached then Operation Game Thief Coordinator Rob Young, with the Arizona Game and Fish Department about the possibilities of exposing the poachers on his outdoor radio show (LIVE) during a thirteen minute segment each month. The proposal was then brought before Department Director Duane Schroufe, who thought it was a great idea.

The Bad Boys Report began in September of 1998. Rob joined Jim every month with a list of usually three poaching cases that listed the poachers by name, their city of residence, fines revocations and a brief summary about the evidence leading up to their arrest.

Since it's inception, the Bad Boys Report, over time, became "The Poacher Chronicles TM "which has now become an hour log show and includes thirty-four state wildlife law enforcement agencies, eight Canadian Provinces and Tanzania, Africa. Poachers are listed by name, their city of residence and any fines, revocations and now forfeitures that may have been imposed on them for their offence and what lead up to their arrest.

"The Poacher ChroniclesTM", has within the last year become much more then a radio show, it's actually become an Anti-Poaching Network.

You can now log onto www.poacherchronicles.com to receive information about poaching in your state or province where they post solved and unsolved cases, if they are participating. "We also have a clothing line for men and women, explains Solomon, that have "The Poacher ChroniclesTM logo on the front and the members of The Anti-Poaching Team (the sponsors) on the back which can be purchased online through www.xplortheoutdoors.com or www.poacherchronicles.com ". Solomon and his wife Patti are also working with the International Association of Natural Resources Crime-stoppers Organization or www.ianrc.com, as a portion of the sales of the clothing line goes to purchase body armor for game wardens throughout the country.

"Join us in our celebration, Patti announces, and join with the Anti-Poaching Team to make your statement against poaching by purchasing one or more of "The Poacher ChroniclesTM", clothing line".

"The Poacher ChroniclesTM" can be heard Sundays LIVE or archived once a month between 7-9AM on AM 1060 the Fan in Phoenix, Arizona or around the globe on, www.xplortheoutdoors.com, www.poacherchronicles.com or on their WebPages at www.myoutdoortv.com.
