The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.
ucwarden, why didn`t the restaurants that sold the game meat get seized? It sounded like their vehicles did but no the restaurants.
A great book and surprisingly well written! You just might consider writing as a secondary career to fishing Thank you very much for your service, I'm sorry to see it wasn't better utilized.
Thanks. If you get a chance please write a review on Amazon.

Just ordered the book. I am looking forward to reading it. I am sure I will end up more pissed off than anything, since all of this was going on in my back yard. How much time did that P.O.S. get once he was convicted?
I have a bunch of thoughts about a review and have opinions on many topics as I'm reading through this book. I'm 2/3rds of the way through it. I have a much different perspective from the point of a defense attorney that represents people charged with crimes, many with the ones cited in this book. I will do a rational review of the book separate from my opinions on the topics raised in this book. The chronologically oriented layout reads very much like a police report...ie, a biased and persuasive writing from an extreme end of the pendulum. Ultimately, I think that makes for a better book and read for entertainment purposes. I also see a very passionate view about these types of cases that generally isn't shared in the legal or community in general, but that isn't something that the book should be criticized for. I'll report back when I'm done.
Wild game poacher sentenced to community service, home detentionTacoma man, 46, said to be 'one of the largest illegal wildlife traffickers in Washington state history'Read more here: http://www.thenewstribune.com/2014/04/04/3133820/wild-game-poacher-sentenced-to.html##storylink=cpyNot sure if this made the papers outside of Tacoma. Seems like a slap on the wrist to me. Hopefully his cooperation brings charges against many of the other scumbags in the book, especially the business owners that fed questionable game to customers.

Hopefully his cooperation brings charges against many of the other scumbags in the book, especially the business owners that fed questionable game to customers.His cooperation was as much of a joke as his sentence.....nothing new came out of his "cooperation".His monetary penalties portion is coming in a couple of weeks. I hope he at least has to pay back the money we gave him in payment for the illegal elk and deer, but at this point I have lost a lot of faith in the "legal system". I have, multiple times, seen people get sentenced to serious jail time for taking one single elk out of season. This sentence makes me sick.
I would guess that allowing him to serve his time on EHM is a response to the budget issues in Pierce County. The article looks like he was looking at a max of 1 year. This goes to show that the system doesn't care about putting wildlife law violators away when they are dealing with violent offenders and drugs. That isn't a judgment on part one way or the other. It is my assessment of why we see sentences like this.
