Poachers caught...

[r00s7a]

maybe the judge didn't get his bear this last season, and will take their hunting license, like they would worry about it anyway, but, at least they could get another charge on them the next time.

I know the judge fairly well and will see her Sunday night, I am gonna see what happened to these jack wads.

Keep us posted. Honest mistakes are one thing... Poaching makes ALL hunters look REALLY bad and needs to have BAD consequences.

I agree! I don't like getting all these permits and licenses but I do because it's the law and because the money goes to a good cause.

Reading through some of Push County WL cases, I don't understand how they can confiscate your guns and then give them back to the poachers after a guilty plea. It's one thing to forget your hunting license and leave it in camp or something. Quite another to be spotlighting, hunting out of season,etc.

I am going to venture to guess that many times its easier and cheaper on the taxpayers to get a guilty plea in court as oppose to fighting these jack baits lawyer. Firearms make a great bargaining chip in this process!

Yeah, we'll all be interested to see how it plays out. Hope she is having a bad day, an one or both of them run their mouth.

as general rule if you are caught by forest service the fines aren't as bad . but if you are caught by an actual game warden then they will take everything involved in the crime.ther was some guys busted in the same area as those mentioned above and the wardens took there truck,atv,both guns,licenses and took them to jail. this was for taking deer during muzzleloader season with high power rifles and shooting from the road. also got them for treaspassing.the forest service caught one of my worthless cousins last year with an illegal turkey and all he got was an $150.00 fine no suspension or revoked licenses.but i am glad he got caught because we had been keeping feeders and cameras on the place all winter and early spring.

We had a tresspaser that shot the dummy deer once. The ODW took his guns but he got them back when he went to court. Next year in the same place he had two others with him and shot the dummy deer. This time he lost his license, truck and guns.
Good for the Judge.

Looks like the deer wasn't the only dummy around there.

Glad they caught them - hope that they can make a LOT stick on the black bear incident.

Agreed.
