Have fun in Rawlins, Mr. Vick.

Damn. Crazy how they got away with it for so long. Glad to see some prison time.

Doesn't seam to give much info. Would be interesting to see some details.

Lots of moderating going on in this thread. Moderator previously violated foul language rule, too, but deleted it.

I deleted all the posts that had nothing to do with the original post and will discuss with Robby and Ryan before proceeding with unlocking.

The difference with the case in this thread is it’s a settled case with convictions

Many of the threads that we’ve pulled down have been at the level of rumors or charges, not convictions.

The one a few tried to burn the forum down with in September didn’t even result in charges.

There are no friends of the forum, we just don’t want this place to turn into a dumpster fire.

I pulled the Bowmar thread, because I got so sick of the hate it was bringing to the forum. And it looks like Bowmars are now suing another site for something like slander arising from that case. While they might not win, at least I don’t have to take that phone call on behalf of a few members who think our platform is for policing the hunting world. We think the game and fish departments are doing just fine in that area, per the case above, so we’ll let them handle it.

Should send them to jail from middle September to mid December every year for 20 year, so they can’t poach again!

 

[DeadlyDilly]

Deserved that!

Imagine how many there are that haven't been caught

That’s actually a brilliant idea that states should consider as punishment. Maybe add some kind of conservation work during the summer.

On another note . When it comes to Taxidermy side aspect . How did they legally get them mounted ?

That's what I was wondering too. Must've just been under the table I guess.

One of the guys convicted was also a taxidermist. A request for an interstate game tag to transport a deer head apparently started the investigation.

After a hunting incident in vermont the judge ordered the shooter to spend deer seasons in jail until his sentence was completed. Irony is the man wears a beard to hide the bullet wound he got in a hunting incident as a kid.

Nice to see some actual teeth in the consequences. Hopefully this deters others in the future.
