Washington Griz Poached

Broken nock:
This reminds me of a guy I hunted with one time quite a few years ago. He was unsafe. uninformed about the type of animals he hunted, and wouldn't take advise from anyone who wanted to give it to him. I refused to hunt with him because he knew everything and wouldn't take advise. A friend of his and this guy went whitetail hunting and stopped at the game check north of Deer Park, and proudly displayed thier two albino whitetail spikes. Both were arrested for poaching Mountain Goats, Dishonorable discharge from the Air Force, and jail time. I feel no simpathy for them or anyone else that takes an animal because they couldn't identify it properly. There's no excuse for it, and it makes the honest hunter look bad. As they say ignorance is not an excuse.

There's no excuse for not knowing how to ID your bear species. However I believe the punishment should be lesser if there was no evidence that it was intentional. I agree completely that it is illegal and punishable. Who bets these guys get more punishment for accidentally killing a grizzly bear than the kid who killed the lady on Sauk Mountain?

Sorry fellas but for me anyways, it's a clear case of poaching, whether it was intentional or not.  Morons
