Good timing considering the whole economic collapse that is supposedly happening.

If we do fall into a depression, I think they will have more folks poaching than they can arrest.

Poaching to feed your family, is that a bad thing? (Not sure these guys were, just saying)

AT LEAST 27 animals in 2 years? Felon in possession of a firearm? Racks all mounted and displayed?

Nope. These people are scum.

Thanks for sharing this, there is no excuse for poaching. Wildlife is finite resource. Even more sadly it is a diminishing one. For me fines aren't enough. The guys ought to go prison.

I agree. Prison time is more than appropriate.

Agreed. When I saw the thread title I had a fleeting thought of "Maybe people down on their luck due to the pandemic ....", then clicked the link and, yah, to hell with them. Throw away the key.

Ya, not arguing there.

I just smile thinking about the whole Rona depression and poaching in general.

Not many people eat cougar and bobcat.

I am sure for them it was about trophies, not food.

I don't.

I know I know.

I was just saying, that's all.

Why?

 

[Member 34319]

Why?

I don't know, conversation maybe.

These guys are the worst example of poaching. However poaching happens all the freaking time.

 

[Kruel J]

I guess I don't understand why you made your first post about possible "noble" reasons they did it and then say they are the worst example of poaching. Either you didn't read the article at all or your posts are just to cause reactions similar to mine.

I could easily poach deer, on my own land, I see them all the time.

But I have no reason to - not to mention the illegality and the ethics. I don't need the meat and I don't particularly like venison. Plus, if SHTF, that is when I want those deer around so I can harvest them.

Besides, I still have elk and venison in the freezer that my neighbors have given me.

You misunderstood me then.

I thought the timing was humorous. Considering we may see an uptick in poaching soon.

If you read it again, you'll notice I never said anything about the guys in the article in my first post.

Dirt bags

 

[Unicykle]

If youve got a truck, gun and gas to go poach you got $200 for a "sports pack". Id like to think these scum will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, but they wont

Yeah. Got it.

 

[Member 34319]

Yeah. Got it.

Now don't even get me started on how it is acceptable to use tannerite to blow up wild hogs and film it for YouTube.
