Shed hunters score big trespassing on Hanford!

[Pegasus]

Bigtex,
As always, appreciate you bringing some facts to the table.

And thanks to the OP for making us aware of these perps and thanks to bigtex for the list of excuses to use if you ever get caught.

Learned the excuses to use and why guys dont have a problem sneaking where they shouldn't be for sheds with these cheap fines. 

So, would you rather not hear the truth?

Take for example the fact that there is no such thing as a $500 fine for this infraction.    Would you rather remain ignorant to the truth?

I didn't see bigtex protecting anyone.  He simply brought some truth to the thread. 

If anything he said isnt factual, why not dispute that?

Nobody asked bigtex what he thinks is right.  We don't know if he'd prefer the death penalty or a 2 cent fine. But he has proven time and again that he knows the law.   I'd like to keep hearing from him on these issues.

BigTex should keep on posting here and I am sure he will. Just remember who he is representing in his posts. He can defend himself and loves to join in to gang tackle people here that dare question the agenda.

A lot of people try to pick apart his posts. Can't recall seeing many of his posts that weren't fact though.

Assuming the running and hiding part of the story is true, they knew they were doing something wrong regardless of excuses.

All the information I shared was first hand info I got from the landowner involved. I only went with what he told me.

Is he standing behind the entire story or is he backing away from some parts of it in light of this new information?

Dang it, there is a secret agenda I did not know about,  I either read real slow or just missed it all together.  probably both

So the one piece of the puzzle that still makes no sense is why were they hiding for almost 2 hours if they had permission??? I know I sure as hell have never hid on any property or have been afraid to talk to anybody while I was on any property that I had permission to be on

How do you know they were hiding ?

For all we know , they packed a gourmet lunch?

Maybe they were picking that draw apart for sheds. 

Maybe they were hiding.

I guess your right.
I guess I just always default to the walks like a duck sounds like a duck, must be a duck theory.  Maybe I’ve just been subject to too many interactions with people who always seem to have a story and it is never their fault.

What I've realized is what you read on the internet is almost never the whole story.

I am pretty sure that somewhere in the middle of all of the details presented here is where the truth lies.

It’s no different IMO than jumping the fence at the feedlot

[huntandjeep]

There's no way those guys didn't know where they were . I have been near that area exactly 1 time before and I knew exactly what land was on the other side of the fence , and I didn't even have to turn on my OnX .

Federal land +federal crime = federal prison?

my memory sucks but didn’t a couple employees poach a big bull on Hanford a couple years ago, and I thought they kept their jobs?

They poached 3 bull elk on the Hanford reservation close to the old Hanford townsite, 2 of the men worked at Hanford and both kept their jobs. I believe they spent 90 days in jail and $6,000 fine. You’d have to double check online to get the facts straight for sure. It wasn’t a few years later and some of the same guys went back to the area they poached the bulls and were picking up sheds. Game wardens had been watching them in the act and they were busted again!!! Some guys just never stop breaking the law.

One of the issues that is left out of all of this is that one of the perpetrators mother was super high up in management in the Richland office of the Department of Energy DOE.  That is how they kept their jobs.
