It be nice to see an example made of them. If this is what they do while in highschool their futures are probably bleak. Very wasteful and disturbing.

Sounds like the apple’s don’t fall far from the trees. :think:

Did they ever get caught? I hunt the areas , west Price and it is just dismal there. However it is getting a bit better.

I have spent soooo many thousands of dollars to go hunt up there and to hear this stuff. It is nothing new in Price county however.

Did a quick Google search for an update but didn't find anything. Can only hope they were caught, it's a shame stuff like this happens.

Is poaching a felony in your state? If so they just won themselves the privilege of losing their gun rights for the rest of their lives.... Complements of becoming a federally prohibited person by way of a felony charge... Turn in all your guns, do not pass go and do not expect compensation.

Just googled it, doesn't look like it is... It's only a 1000 fine per animal plus 500 to 750 per point antler point. It's a civil infraction, it's not even a misdemeanor... WTF...

I don't recall ever seeing anyone charged liked that in an poaching case. Some county Justice systems in Wisconsin are weak and useless. I agree, a felony charge would be a better punishment.
