[QUOTE="mwkelso, post: 1769516, member: 110880"] That’s a tough question. If I read the article correctly, his hunting privileges were still suspended when he shot the 3 elk. Sure, let’s revoke his hunting rights for life. But what would this change? I think nothing since he is a repeat offender. Then comes the question of banning his access to arms, but now there is a second amendment infringement. BUT- is he gets convicted of a felony, he likely will be banned privileges to firearms anyway. Not sure about Montana’s rules, only Idaho. Felons in the State of Idaho are not allowed to be in possession of any firearms. Next would be jail time and fines. Hard to say without knowing his financials. If he gets hammered with a fine in addition to jail, how long AFTER he is out of jail will it take him to pay restitution of a great amount? Would he even pay??? All the above said, I would have to be in favor of jail time with in-custody work assignments. Preferably minimum security so he can be supervised while he helps crews maintain the lands and wildlife that he thinks he has the right to destroy. [/QUOTE]
