BTW,you'd be amazed at the authority and jurisdiction a federal conservation officer has.It's much like the FBI and far broader than local or state police.They even have the right to issue speeding tickets.Search and seizure of your home,vehicle,possessions,etc.,,are also under their authority.Not that it happens much.Usually probable cause,as in the case with the guy caught in the act of poaching,is warranted before they search your home.
I was with my uncle when they(a group of 3 officers) caught a deer poacher.His gun and vehicle were confiscated.He was sent to jail and fined.His vehicle was later sold(a brand new full size Ford) by the state,but he was still required to pay the payments.Game laws,for us common folk,are serious offenses.
A 'friend' of mine got caught poaching deer last year. He lost his brand new Dodge 4x4, They then raided his house, took all his guns, busted him for growing pot. His wife divorced him in order for her to keep the house.
I think he gets out sometime this year, LoL! He will never be able to hunt, possess firearms again.
They are tough on that kind of thing everwhere.
