Muley Freak poaching case plea deal

[WKR]

Didn’t sound like it. You’ll have to look up on HuntTalk, they’ve been following it pretty closely. Possible felony case still open but I’m not sure if that’s totally accurate or if the court system hasn’t updated the case online yet

If he didn't then that's total bull crap...I'm sure he cried and said that its his main source of income but come on...a truck driver still loses his license when he gets a dui

You guys are relentless.

The audacity of an entrenched group trying to police their own. Amirite?

Respectfully disagree. Anyone can make a mistake one time. With him, its a pattern of behavior. He is representative of hunters whether we like it or not.

Idaho is an interesting place - quite a collection of old deeply established families and the type of person who gravitates there from other states. In the 7 years I lived in Boise, it was surprising some state laws are enforced very strictly, others not so much, and how much political clout a person has very much has an impact on how you’re treated, and not just the family that makes french fries. It’s a small state and doesn’t take long before you know someone from every corner, and in small communities everyone knows everyone.

I figure there are three potential reasons why he may have received preferential treatment, but I won’t spell them out or someone related to each would get butt hurt. It’s not unlike much of rural America - the good old boy system is alive and well.

Didn't that leprechaun just shoot a moose?

Prime example of how the courts handle wildlife violations. I would hate trying to be an LEO enforcing the laws knowing the DA's would not prosecute or the judge would just throw it out.

Yup. Wildlife law has not kept pace with modern realities in regards to wildlife value and how anti-social these acts are. There needs to be legislative change on sentencing standards. Poaching is easier than ever with modern technology, and as financially lucrative as it ever. Current penalties aren’t enough to serve as a deterrent nor prevent recidivism. Most of these clowns just keep poaching.

As a side note, if I was looking to make money in hunting, I’d keep “muley” out of my name. I can’t keep straight all the poachers that have some variation of it in their name.

On your speculative paragraph, “bingo.” I think anyone that has lived in Utah or Southern Idaho can read between the lines.

That's why I asked what state this was in. Sounded more Washington that Idaho

Why do I feel like if I shot a deer on private I’d not get off with a pee pee tap?

You guys just stop bagging on him. He's just a regular guy trying to make a living off a public resource. No worse than people having more kids with no dad so they can get more free welfare money.
What else is he supposed to do? Make little glassing cushions, scope covers, and bino harnesses? Everyone knows that's a tough business for a ginger to survive in with todays DEI economy.

Looks like a lot of people are jealous of his elite AVM level hunting skills and want to hate on him. Ol' Eric is gonna keep hammering and use this as fuel for his new energy drink - Ginger Freak which is loaded with vitamins, minerals, CBD, caffeine, amino acids, and antler velvet. He'll also have a mormon freindly blend with no caffeine or CBD called Ginger Frea. 10% of all proceeds will go to SFW for a limited time only.

I swear I remember him losing his license for a few years maybe 8 years ago or maybe that was another influencer, hard to keep track of them all.

You look way older in your new prof pic and it makes it less fun to troll you @ucscryder.

Not sure how to respond to that. Should I be closing my blinds at night?
