Looks like he’ll have to hunt in a different state once he gets off probation.
I guess that’ll teach him
Good.
Dunno the details, but if he has a case, of course the state district court would not be the last word if he wanted to take it to the Idaho supreme court. Also he could hunt in another state.
It was the gun’s fault.
This is why fish & game officers are better than the police. They are either already at the scene of a crime or there shortly thereafter.
Serves him right; however, not having a hunting license didn’t seem to stop him the last time.
One of my former in-laws was caught hunting on a State game preserve many years ago and they confiscated his rifles and his truck. He was also fined and placed on probation for a year.
He got his truck back a month or so later and I believe they returned his rifles after his probation was up.
If he cannot follow the rules the rest of us have to follow, he should be banned.
A druggie out hunting.
This guy deserves all he got and more...and I hope he's on a law enforcement watch list forever.

It’d be more fitting if instead of no hunting, he just had to reverse roles with the sheep and be the prey for a while.
He'll be back hunting illegally within 6 months. Maybe he'll get jail time next time.
Drugs, guns and poaching. Good times. :-)
They are, after all, the Kings deer.
...er, sheep.
He may hunt again, but he will not be using a firearm. Felony conviction means no firearms in his future. If the wardens want him, they will know about the felony conviction and will bust him on that.
States have reciprocity for bans on hunting.
I think what is lost in these game poacher stories, is that the sentence handed down for their crime is often more severe than a crime committed by and DWI driver that has a head on collision with a family of four. This type of crime often draws a $500 fine and license suspension for 30 days. Seems like to often, we put our priorities on the wrong crimes. Just my thoughts.
