Mention this next time someone asks for your hunting license.

Nice that they got off so easy, I'm sure one of us would end up in prison and pays $1000s in fines

People never think they'll get caught. Fish and game is big bucks and you know .gov gets theirs one way or another.

 

[Stomper]

Wow.... $86 dollar fine. That's WAY cheaper than a non-resident elk tag.

 

[Gunnerboy]

Weird... they must be related to the clintons to get off for free....

Q: Did they know that they were trespassing?

Was it during the season and they strayed off into a no hunting zone?

.gov employees breaking the law?!..........................this is my shocked face.

 

[USAF Medic]

There is ample opportunity to hunt elk in a legal manner. I do not understand how anyone could find satisfaction in participating in an illegal hunt.

 

[USAF Medic]

The state can also confiscate any equipment used to poach an elk. Including guns and vehicles.

"Poachers come from all walks of life but everyone is subject to the same rules and regulations. Colorado Parks and Wildlife will prosecute anyone to the full extent in cases like this one," area wildlife manager JT Romatzke said in a news release."

Full extent my arse, someone or all in the party had an 'in' with someone. BS!

 

[Sgt Nambu]

That's just disgusting! Those with any kind of moral compass will be extinct in a decade!

I am from New Mexico/Colorado. I have never seen a anyone convicted of poaching get off with such a light sentance.
Forfeiture of guns and vehicles is the norm in addition to a $5000 to $10,000 fine.
