About
Meet Charlie, the Prince of Poachers
Charles Robert Beaty was born on August 13, 1956, in the city of Tyler, Texas. Learning about hunting for the first time around the age of twelve, Charlie became fascinated with the idea of killing big whitetail deer.
As an adult, his fascination turned into an obsession. Charlie worked as a taxidermist while secretly living the life of an outlaw-hunter, poaching hundreds of deer and other animals under the noses of Texas Parks and Wildlife game wardens.
After 22 years of poaching, Charlie finally reformed, turning himself in to the state game wardens and retiring his outlaw ways. Charlie chose to write Prince of Poachers to share his story along with why he no longer poaches and to warn others away from outlaw-hunting.
A True-Life Outlaw-Hunting Adventure
Read Charlie's first-hand account of illegally hunting across Texas, including the world-famous King and Kenedy Ranches, poaching an incredible 116 trophy-class whitetail deer over the course of 22 years.
Join in as Charlie recalls taking friends of all backgrounds, including police officers, on many outlaw hunts. And find out why, after taking forty-one bucks over the course of seven seasons, Charlie surrendered to Texas Parks and Wildlife game wardens... only to return on a rampage, killing an additional seventy-five whitetail bucks.
This book will keep you on the edge of your seat as you read Charlie's accounts of close calls with wardens and ranch security, rattling up his top dirty-dozen bucks, his record-setting 11, 16, and 27-day outlaw-hunts, surviving off the land, and always making it out alive even when his friends feared him to be dead.

An Unforgettable Story
"This is the best book I've ever read, aside from the Bible. I started reading it Sunday morning and it kept me up until 11 o'clock Sunday night. I just couldn't put it down! Thanks to Charles Beaty for sharing his real-life experiences for the world to read. The final story is soon to come and I can't wait to read it. Every deer hunter in the world should read it!"
