2 poaching , waste of wildlife cases In the last week. Can't help but wonder if enforcement is ramping up, after the release of UC Wardens book, especially this case.

Or it's modern hunting season so there's more going on, it's insane how busy they are in the clockum every year. Could be both though, who knows.

I'm surprised they filed charges...

I wish they could do more to people like this! It's sad. Makes it hard for real hunters to find a trophy

WA should start to charge a fee by the inch of antler like other states for poaching. At least with an increase price tag attached to trophy animals, it might curb the cases of it happening.

After this civil action penalty is applied, the state can take an additional restitution penalty based on the formula, ((gross score – 100)² x $1.65)." Illegally shoot a 180-inch buck in Ohio will cost you $10,560 plus court costs, fines, and whatever the first restitution fee was that was assessed by the wildlife agency. That puts a whole new light on "cheap thrills."

Washington state does have an additional fine for "trophy" deer and elk. From page 75 of the 2013 Hunting regulations:

Criminal Wildlife Penalty Assessment
In addition to criminal penalties, courts assess
a criminal wildlife penalty for conviction of
illegally killing or possessing: deer, elk, bear, or
cougar - $2,000; moose, antelope, bighorn sheep,
or mountain goat - $4,000; trophy deer (four or
more antler points on both sides, not including
eye guards), or elk (five or more antler points on
both sides, not including eye guards) - $6,000;
and mountain caribou, grizzly bear, or trophy
mountain sheep (3/4 curl or better) - $12,000.

They really need to go after guys like this. Total disregard for the wildlife and he should have any hunting and fishing privileges revoked for his lifetime.

[JJB11B]

This guy is only allowed to hunt on the rez. already

[MLBowhunting]

He will skate by.
