should also be here in ontario fines as these Instead here they send you off with a slap on the hand Riverton Man Convicted of Poaching Large Trophy Mule Deer Near Lander LANDER – On December 3, 2013, a Riverton man plead guilty in the Ninth District Circuit Court in Lander to poaching a large trophy buck mule deer. The incident occurred on October 14, 2013, near Lander, Wyoming. Joseph A. Holdren, 28, plead guilty to knowingly and intentionally taking an antlered mule deer without a license, hunting private land without permission, and using an illegal firearm to take the deer. On October 14, 2013, Holdren illegally killed a large trophy class mule deer buck without a license on private land near Lander. He killed the deer with illegal ammunition, causing the rifle to be illegal. Recent changes to Wyoming Game and Fish Department regulations allow the use of the .223 caliber cartridge, as long as the bullet weight is at least 60 grains and has a soft, expanding point. Holdren used ammunition that did not meet these requirements. The defendant was ordered to pay $12,340.00 in fines and restitution for the illegally taken mule deer. Holdren’s hunting and fishing privileges were revoked for the next 10 years in Wyoming and 39 reciprocal states. In addition, equipment used in the poaching of this magnificent animal was forfeited to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, including the .223 caliber AR-15 rifle used to kill the trophy. |

I absolutely agree Skull. It is especially true of repeat offenders. Often they get a one or two year ban and 1,000-2,000 fine. That is a joke. It is great to see the US taking poaching seriously. Not only do they deal with tresspassing and poaching must more effectively, they also manage their wildlife much better than we do here in Ontario. (IMO) |

Wow that's a big fine. If things were like that here I'm sure we would see less of that crap happening. |
