Fine by me, poachers are vermin.
And why do we think preventing him from legally hunting will have any deterrent effect?
Was he trying to feed his family or was he just shooting for fun or was he selling the meat for profit? Story didn’t say ....
Good.
They found 5 deer and an untagged turkey at his home. They were turned in on a tip line and charged with poaching and wasting the meat.
Can’t stand poachers. They give needless ammunition to the ant-hunting losers. Lifetime ban sound fine by me.
Poachers steal from all of us - it’s a way of life for most of them, including my wife’s family. Fishing, clam digging, it doesn’t matter - and one was a county cop. They don’t try it when I’m around since I said I would drop a dime on them - Obama voters, anyway.
Really short story, and even shorter on details.
...haven’t heard of a lifetime ban before...although it probably won’t matter to this guy....he’ll get caught again doing the same thing....there’s always been riff raff like him.
.....in our area(Smokey Mountains) the biggest poaching problem is bear hunters....the Chinese want bear gall bladders and pay big money to get them....next biggest poachers are ginsang hunters in the national parks...next are persimmons tree poachers in national parks...the Japs want persimmons wood for their golf clubs.
