Wyoming nails poachers!

brutus54 · Mar 14, 2017

LAST EDITED ON Mar-14-17 AT 07:23PM (MST)[p]Well it looks like Wyoming takes poaching serious. That's some pretty good fines. But I would like to see a lifetime ban and some jail time and maybe this crap would stop. But theirs always some dumb azzes that think they are smarter then everybody else. This is up on the Wyoming forum too. https://wgfd.wyo.gov/Regional-Offic...News/Poachers-caught-by-Hunting-in-the-Sticks

Glad they nailed the crap out of these guys! I amiss so fed up with the commericalization of hunting and that hunting industry. I know some are good but more and more the fame is too much of a draw!

What "hunting show" were they trying to get foootage for?

The show was called "Huntin in the Sticks" Hawkeye.

Thanks. I need to slow down and read more carefully!

Just another bullet-point in the long list of reasons contributing to my low regard (disdain) for these "hero-type" hunting shows!

Call it how you see it but these guys are the typical TV clowns.

I would love to blame this on the "commercialization" of hunting, but poaching has been occurring a lot longer than hunting TV shows. This particular case appears to have been driven by greed and the lust for fame. But it was also the commercialization of hunting that allowed them to get caught. Otherwise, no case would have ever been made.

I hear the stories from some old timers about how many deer they shot without a license "back in the day." They were doing it just because they wanted to, not for profit or for fame. Just something to think about.

A couple of wannabees from Kentucky makes it even better. They titled the episode "Western Redemption". They got that part right. Losers.

Would like to see more of a repercussion to the networks. Noticed they did not respond to questions, and simply removed the show like it never had existed, but did not make any comment condoning the actions. Networks must put up some kind of deterrents, as they clearly provide the incentives.

I damn sure don't watch any shows where guys from the South, Midwest, or East come west to hunt. Usually some guy riding around in a truck on a private ranch and ends with them talking how "hard" they worked while loading an elk whole in the pickup. Not my style.
