Idaho Poaching Case

[Hockley]

Just another case of a rich man that thinks he is above the law. Supposedly the affidavit that goes with the case is even worse than the article, but I haven't seen it.

Pure greed.

That guy probably never in his life thought the feds would obtain search warrants for his iCould data.

[twosixteens]

That is a lot of money changing hands.

[Hockley]

Yes

[unclefish]

Dude is screwed....and an a-hole.

[EliteDriver]

More money than brains....I hope he gets what's coming to him.

[Bisch]

Worthless scum!!!!!

If that’s all factual, he needs the max penalty. Jail time is the only deterrent to anyone that has the money to pay large fines.

Smh!!!

[Killer]

Lifetime ban is what he should get. Don't want that scum in my state

[OleTomTalker]

I'm not sure I understand just what all i read but it seems that landowners must try to draw a tag to hunt on their own land and then are not allowed to sell this tag? If there are no more animals harvested than what should be, why does gov't get to dictate what they do on their property?

Good question

[wytex]

Ole Tom yes they have to draw these special tags and they have to follow state laws even on their own property.

[sharpstick35]

when hunting becomes a business instead of a hobby, people will get greedy.

[Hockley]

It sounds like he was hunting all of these tags and not selling? Maybe I'm not understanding it either.
