[QUOTE="JPRITT, post: 309037, member: 8628"] Sure there is some grey area here but like others have said, how many trophys were lost due to these criminals before the sting. Undercover work is done in the grey area. Wheather its buying drugs, guns, or big horns, there is now text book for this stuff. Obviously they agent didnt want to shoot it by missing twice and buying time but got backed into a corner himself. Yes, a trophy was potentialy taken from a worthy hunter but if this Big horn was this big, whos to say it would have lived to see another season?? Also the trickle effect from this arrest and hopefully prosecution will deter future poachers from trying their luck. If the state gets a conviction I'm sure they will make an example of them during sentencing. Sometimes to catch a wolf you need to be a wolf. [/QUOTE]
