Related: About this forumShe bragged to a man on a dating app about poaching deer. He was a game warden.
As a game warden for Oklahoma's Department of Wildlife Conservation, Cannon Harrison is used to working on investigations that take months and months. Catching poachers - whose illegal deeds often take place under the cover of night, in remote areas far from any road - frequently means relying on anonymous tips, conducting surveillance in small planes and collecting footage from hunters' trail cameras.
His latest bust, however, came easily - courtesy of the dating app Bumble.
The 24-year-old received a notification in December telling him that he had matched with a woman in his area. After she messaged him to say hello - unlike other dating apps, Bumble requires women to make the first move - Harrison asked how she was doing.
She had just shot a "bigo buck," she told him - a big old buck. "Pretty happy about it," she wrote.
