I'm surprised Montana just doesn't ban them for life, stupid to be only five years. Washington should do the same.  Amazing how much work went into this, I think they should fine them for the animal and add up all of the hours and bill them for that as well.

I agree, the countless hours as Golie said they spent,  should be reimbursed by the offender after conviction.  So, after it is all said and done they gave the state 41k between all offenders.  My guess is that doesn't cover one of the investigators wage for 1/2 a year or there about.  It is hard to believe a 5 yr suspension is fitting to the state.   Maybe if it was one year and one elk but, multiple elk over multiple years should carry the 5 yrs per elk per year IMO.

Wardens show just had another guy and his wife, I think from WA, with something like 20-30 poached animals.  He claimed he was trying to feed himself, but they were all big bucks and tons of grip & grin pics.  I think he got 6 months house arrest and a few bucks in fines.

Bigtex.....

In your experience with these type of guys that end up with these hefty fines.  What's the pattern later?  Do they...

Behave and learn their lesson after a 5 year time out

Keep poaching because they are addicts and can't stop

Or hang it up all together never hunting again?
In my experience they unfortunately don't learn.
