Nice to see they got charged and fined.  Not enough punishment in my opinion.

Just wish it was me who turned them in and got those poacher points!  Would that be 20? Or only 10 for the shooter?

Interesting.  Looks like a pretty nice buck too.

Serves em right. Stupid is stupid does. Hats off to all involved in the prosicution!

I think it would be nice if they pull all future special permits for these meatheads.

He should have fun spending a day with the DOC crew. Agree with the fines, should have more years tacked on the revoked licences.

Interesting to me that the fines go up for a bigger buck, I always just thought poaching any deer would be a certain fine.  I think the punishment is plenty, it is meant to correct the action & I'm sure the next time they pull the trigger the punishments will be on their minds.   Mike

HOLY SHEET BATMAN ....6000 BUCKS    A guy best think about it before pulling something like that ...Especially in Wa.  That deer looks like in was in combat your something ...his EYES ARE SUNK in like it was dead for a month

Glad they got caught & fined. I need to catch myself a poacher I could use the points.

[BOWHUNTER45]

Yeah if they give a guy a moose or sheep tag I am in ....

I agree it would be nice to see their rights to permits be taken away for good!!
I am glad, however, to see them get punished though.

If you look at it in the grand scheme of things thats not any more than a guided hunt in a different state and can expect the same size of buck. You lose your hunting rights for 2 years and get a day of community service big whoop. Make poaching a felony and ull see a drop in poaching cases.

The new trend in wildlife enforcement is to charge the offender a "trophy fee fine". what would the animal have brought in as a trophy hunt? So imagine what the fine would be on say the spider bull!

My son passed that buck on the first weekend of the quality season cause of the short main beams and backs.  Was a young buck also and had his nose up everything in site.
