[QUOTE="LRSickle, post: 686814, member: 18167"] Broz, I think the problem is the lack of fines and penalties. It's cheaper to pay the fine than go through the hastle and cost of tags and a good outfitter. If you have the nuts and no conscience, you'll probably get a lot of trophies before you get caught. [SIZE=2]Kirt Darner[/SIZE] made ALOT of money off his poaching. Endorsements, speaches, sales of book and other products...etc. His fines were big I'm sure, but I bet what he raked in during his career more than offset them. How about the infamous [SIZE=2]"Serial Poacher" Donald Eugene Lewis[/SIZE]? He was poaching elk in our petting zoo called Yellowstone Park. He shot at least 12 elk that they got on film. Who knows how many else? How many did he leave to rot? He made money off of his poaching too I sure. He was quite famous for poaching in other states as well. He was only charged $15,000 and, get this, [COLOR=red]they let him keep his trophies! [/COLOR][COLOR=black]This guy should never hunt or even touch a gun again.[/COLOR] How much time and money would we have to spend on scouting, outfitters, DIY hunts, etc, to get the same number and trophy quality as these two loosers? I say the courts should be a lot harder on them. Enough so you wouldn't even dare consider poaching. [/QUOTE]
