Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but this pisses me off: https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/18/us/poaching-ring-charges-trnd/

I hope they are prosecuted to the fullest extent.

WA's fullest extent is usually a lot more lenient than other states' fullest extent. Hopefully, OR will step up to the plate and nail these guys with maximum penalties.

Thanks for the links.  I'm still getting familiar with this site.

I agree but article said they are being charged with poaching a squirrel?

Please remember these are poachers who just killed animals with no respect for the animals, the meat, or the law, they were not hunters!

Hunters follow the law, they respect the wildlife they hunt, hunters properly care for the meat obtained when hunting!

I agree with bear paw. These were not hunters.

Tell that to the media. We're all aware.

Hunters know that. The public doesn't. The public wont change either.

Yes, I agree, to add to that I think a big part of the problem is the liberal news media spoon feeding people an anti-hunting narrative.

And because of that, they're ignorant to the problems they're creating regarding the funding of wildlife conservation in America. It's going to be a huge problem in the coming years and the reversal of many hunter-funded conservation success stories.
