They are going to have to live with the consequences of their actions regardless. We can say what we want, but what they did was wrong and they'll pay for it in the end. Sooner or later...for their hope I hope sooner...if they end up paying for it down the road, their punishment will be far greater.
it's a shame that kids don't have self control of their own actions anymore. I have been archery hunting MANY times and never saw a deer. That's no excuse for shooting a ranchers livelyhood. They should have be sentenced to working on that ranch for free until they have paid off FULL restitution for the rancher and the public...
Sorry SOB's...
