[Rotnguns]

This is not a good look. Charged with multiple violations.

Yep. Innocent until proven guilty, by my goodness, there's sure a lot of smoke around that fire.

Not a good look is a major understatement. They better throw the entire book at him and make an example if convicted. Governor needs to make a statement about the charges, not the verdict obviously, but just the nature of the charges. You have a citizen and a Warden as witnesses, ya I know which way I’m leaning but let the jury do their job (if he doesn't plea).

1000% if found guilty (which he probably will plea down for obvious reasons) throw the book at him! This is one of those things that set precedent across an entire nation.

I mean, the state likes to make examples out of (kind of) influencers hunting in this fine state, they better make a government official an example. Likely that'll happen. We'll go to war before that happens.

This doesn’t even sound like a sophisticated case. Good grief. The blatant disregard

Let’s not forget about how 8 years ago an IDFG commissioner was essentially forced by the governor to resign for the crime of sharing his legal African safari hunting photos with his friends and colleagues.

What does one have to do with the other. If what you say is true, one was legal, one was not. So?
