I saw the details on this. Pretty interesting. Poaching makes it hard on all of us who try and show hunting / fishing is a sustainable activity. These folks give all of us a bad reputation.

Amen.... I can't stand poachers. They should be more heavily penalized for the crimes they blatantly committ.

I take offence when these scumbags are included into the hunter catagory, there are poachers .Wildlife thieves not hunters. Hunters abide by the rules they are just white trash...............low lifes.
