There was a cash trophy fine of $6000 and there was a bunch of other slaps on the hand but all in all it was a pretty light sentence.
BUT....................if he is caught again he will be thrown in jail for an unknown amount of time. He is also on high alert probation, meaning if he wipes his ass the wrong way he will be back in jail.
He was caught already shooting pheasants out of his window and i can bet this wasnt his first buck poached we just happened to see him do it.
Oh and i forgot to mention that this gem of society is also a sex offender.
what a state we live in huh.
if you are really hot about this like i was drop a line to the WSDFW.

Here is the part that PO'd me a bit. When the they arrived at my truck, they first searched my truck and then gave me and my buddy breathalizer test. I was a bit irratated one because they looking to nail me for something when I was just doing my part to help nail these guys. I hadn't had a beer in 2-3 days. Anyways, they looked the license plate up and told me that they had been to this residence before. They stated that they are part of the Yakima indian tribe and that they would investigate it. They said in the past that since they were indians that more than likely nothing would happen. I ended up following up with the Fish and Game a week later and found this out.
1. They did not have a permit at the time this happened.
2. Fish and Game wrote them a ticket but it had been revoked because the tribal elders issued a permit the followign day.
So to make the long story short, they can pretty much poach any animal they want and get a permit after the fact. What a crock of crap!!!

Killing tame deer 'Henry' is costly for two young men
Mark Yuasa
Back on Nov. 10, 2007, at around 10 a.m., state Fish and Wildlife enforcement officers Nick Jorg and Lance Stevens were dispatched to a private property off Big Rock Road and Odell Road near Duvall to view a trophy four-point black-tail buck killed during a closed hunting season.
A witness told the officers that two young men from the neighborhood had shot the buck with a bow and arrow.
The shooter, Chad Leonard, and his accomplice, Kyle Deboer, initially wounded the deer, which ran across the street and almost got hit by a car, and then jumped over a fence stumbling into a field.
"The two were then seen attempting to gain possession of the buck on the private property as neighbors nearby watched," Jorg said.
The two suspects then got into their vehicle and kept driving back and forth on a road by the dying buck.
According to Jorg, when they arrived a witness told them he had lost count of how many times the suspects kept passing by in their vehicle.
"It was kind of comical," Jorg said. "The two were heading our way so we initiated a traffic stop, then they attempted to flee but eventually pulled over. Both men confessed to shooting the deer."
Upon arriving at the scene, Jorg said the shooter exclaimed: "Wow, it's even bigger than I thought it was."
"I asked him why he shot the deer, since it was about a week and half before the hunting season started," Jorg said. "He claimed he couldn't wait for the season to open. It was a crime of ego and greed, and he simply had to get it before anyone else. They wanted it for the trophy aspect."
Deboer's father told his son to not even think about shooting the neighborhood's tame pet deer nicknamed "Henry."
Leonard was charged with hunting big game in a closed season and hunting without a deer tag. Deboer faced the same charges, but as an accomplice to the crime.
Deboer took a plea deal instead of going to trial and was sentenced to five days of work-crew service and a fine of $635. Deboer has to retake a hunter-safety course, may not hunt or attempt to hunt or possess any weapons or hunting equipment for two years.
On the other hand, Leonard unwisely took the case to trial.
"It was pretty much a slam-dunk case (for the prosecuting attorney, Abigail Cromwell), who did a good job at the jury trial," Jorg said.
Leonard was sentenced to fines of $6,840, spent two days in jail and has to do three days of work-crew service and 40 hours of community service.
Judge Frank V. La Salata at the King County Redmond District Court also revoked all of Leonard's hunting privileges for two years. He must take a hunting-safety class, may not hunt or attempt to hunt, may not have any criminal violations and may not possess any weapons or hunting equipment for two years.
"The judge went somewhat lenient on (Leonard) for the dollar fines, plus he only spent two days in jail when it could have been 365 days," Jorg said. "We feel it was dealt handily and we should give a hand to the prosecutors staff because these kind of cases are awkward dealing with natural-resources law."
The trophy buck was eventually donated to the Snoqualmie Tribe for one of their elderly programs.
