Anyone ever hear of what happened to these *censored*bags? This is the newest article i could find, and cant find what their sentences were.

Nope, and I can't find anything more recent than 01/19/2019

I would imagine this was all put on hold due to C19.

he pled guilty, was sentenced soon after... what else is left?

The sentence? I couldn't find that.

[SuperX]

ah, what ever it is I'm sure it will seem too light!

He made promise that if he ‘buys a license’ he will not poach.

The plea agreement would have had him go to prison for a year.  But the sentencing was delayed awaiting his testifying in the Oregon trials.  Haynes actually did more poaching in Oregon than he did WA.  It was a multi-state ring.   

Interesting article about the background behind the sting operation:

Seems I remember hearing about him or one of the others committing suicide shortly after this went down.

I met Tyler once a few years ago when he was a rookie officer, helped him on a poaching case when the TV show was still following them around. Great guy!  That article was crazy, glad those dirt bags got caught. I wonder if some are back at it??

[Chanes8CWU]

Yeah i guess i should have been more clear on my question.

Whats the status of his Oregon hearing and what was the actual sentencing for both states. Sounds like what another member said may be true about COVID delaying all of this.

Great article.  Shows how much work it takes to nail these criminals in court.

This idiot was on one of the hunting pages talking Chit.  Him and his buddies.  I remember print screening it.   

[salmosalar]

I'm pleased that he was caught along with the ring. Poaching like that is theft and it gives a bad name to hunters for those who struggle to differentiate between hunting and poaching. It hurts everyone.
