No Slap On The HAND here folks....

I understand that and it sucks but you HAVE to know what you're shooting at!

[ICEMAN]

Wow. Tough one.

I would lawyer up. On it's face, your story sounds bad, and I would rather have legal representation.....since you did not automatically report, and since you attempted to conceal.

Let us know how it turns out for ya....
Not sure I'm buyin " I was gonna call when I got home" that's going to be a tough sell

[RifleRidge]

When the courts allow you to hunt again, I would Invest in a better pair of optics..

I'm sure the OP thanks you SOOOO much for all your invaluable advice, you are a huge help.   

[James E]

you need an attorney. Where are you located? I know of a good attorney, who deals with this kind of stuff on a regular basis.

A non-sarcastic thank you to those who have offered helpful advice. I appreciate it. Again, I'm not trying to get out of my punishment or dodge the proverbial bullet here.

A sarcastic thanks to everyone else for piling on. Again there is nothing you can say to me that I already haven't thought or said to myself.

As for whether you believe my story or not, it's all true. I have no reason to make anything up.

Let this be a lesson to you!  Don't EVER, EVER, EVER bring some mistake you made up on this forum!!  Most of the people here are PERFECT, and will ensure you know that by belittling you for your mistake.  It happens all the time. 
Since most others are doing it, YOU ARE AN EVIL, IGNORANT PERSON!  YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BREATHE, LET ALONE HUNT IN OUR GREAT, AWESOME, WELL-RUN, WELL-MANAGED STATE!  SO STUPID!  YOU MUST HAVE BEEN DRUNK OR RETARDED OR SOMETHING.  YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE IN A TEACHING POSITION, YOUR EVIL VALUES WILL WARP OUR CHILDREN'S BRAINS! (Not video games or social media or lack of parent involvement, you.)  I HOPE THEY BURN YOU AT THE STAKE AS AN EXAMPLE TO ALL THE OTHERS WHO WOULD THOUGHTLESSLY MAKE A MISTAKE IN THE WOODS..... blah blah blah *yaaaawn

Did I cover all of it? 
Oh wait, you are stupid because you don't have good optics.
Think that's it.

Little joke for you
Jesus showed up just as a man was about to be stoned.
He said "Let them without sin cast the first stone"
No one moved for a second, then a rock came sailing out from the back of the crowd and hit the man
Jesus said "MOM!  I hate it when you come to these things"

This is a prime example of how this state is so screwed up...I would be willing to bet that the OP "Thought" this deer was a 3 point hoping for an eye guard..They need to take this stupid ass rule out of the equation, that would save a hell of a lot of 2 points from being killed..But we all know this state is all about the all mighty "Dollar"...3 points on the main beam only. Eye guards should never be considered a point.

Good lick to the OP on your court case..

Good luck fighting this. From the sounds of it. There is no chance of you getting off the hook for what you did. At least you're not in jail.

Since you stated you are a high school teacher, you need to teach this valuable lesson to all your kids to not commit a crime and be an idiot like you were.


One question, we're you drunk or just stupid? It seems like a person like this should have their rights from hunting and fishing taken away for life.

Please tell me this was a sarcastic response?  Let me guess, you're an angel and have never done anything wrong in your entire life?  Most likely story is you've never been caught or had the balls to own up to something like this guy is.  It's pretty clear to me from his remarks that he truly regrets his actions and would take them back if he could.  Stupid mistake?  Absolutely!  And from the sounds of it he will paying some price for it.  Just wants some advice from others who may have experienced something similar and what to expect.  Why would you suggest having his hunting and fishing rights be taken away forever?  That sounds more stupid to me.  Shoot, drunk drivers usually only lose there driver's license for a year.  The guy made a bonehead mistake and owned up to it.  Though, I guess he should have known he's get flamed for even looking for some advice.  Thanks for offering your help, I'm sure he's better off for it.    Good for you for owning up to it, hope they don't throw the book at you too hard.

I don't get your point?
The OP comes onto a hunting website and just because he admits to poaching we're not supposed to speak our mind? Going through a multi error check list of your mistakes after the fact only leaves the door open for opinions. I also agree you hunterman

The guy I turned in for shooting a spike in a three point only area and then leaving it lay and walking away. Got a 2 year hunting license suspension, and a $2500 fine. He initially lied to the warden about shooting it. When the warden told him that there were witnesses he finally admitted it after an hour and forty-five minutes. He got a lawyer and was going to fight it until his lawyer saw the witness statements, then he changed his plea to guilty. I think that the $2000 dollar part of the fine is mandatory, the judge cannot waive it on a big game violation. Might depend on what the gammie wrote the ticket for.

On the bright side, at least they didn't charge Supermatt9 with wastage of game..........   (I hate it when I find a dead 2-point just left because of someone's mistake; so good for you for at least taking it instead of leaving it lay like a lot of people would have done.)
