2 things. 1 the story about "hack a rack". Funny that she could come up with a name out of the blue. Second, the chukkar story. Seems to be a lot of SMOKE. The question is, WHY were they talking to mom to start with. I doubt highly it was because she called them, or some DWR guy drove by and saw some heads. A few years back a local guy killed a mexican wolf. He came from a notorious "poaching" family, but he was INNOCENT, the DWR was persecuting him, etc, etc. Until they showed him the video of him they had out poaching pheasants, OOOOPPPPSSS. Poachers are virus', plain and simple. Seems you could check their IRS statements. All those heads, birds, fish, etc, how much did this guy make to spend that much on taxidermy?
Funny that these guys loved the animals so much it "honored" the animal to mount it, but they didn't have any pics? You know, this is the buck I killed in 2012 during the season,(pay no attention to the 3 feet of snow, because there was no snow on the ground that Oct.), or the pics with the big deer they killed out on the west desert(pay no attention to the aspen and pines, we found the one spot out there not covered in sage and cedars).
Heres what I learned from Ferguson and New York. If you don't walk the edge of the law, you don't need to fear the cops. I don't worry about prison for poaching, I DON'T poach.
By the way, getting someone to flip on someone else is pretty common, that isn't an overzealous DA, that is doing his job. He should have lost his law license for his crap as well.
Until we STOP the BS of "shades of grey", or "definitions", and HAMMER ILLEGAL KILLERS, we all loose. The poachers steal FAR more from us than the cats and coyotes. I watched Bill CLinton, he did not have "sexual relations" with that woman, he got a hummer, WHO CARES, HE CHEATED EITHER WAY. Call it whatever you want, Poaching, illegal killing, "hack a rack", whatever, you want, it should be a FELONY and have mandatory minimums. Steal a car your getting charged, illegally kill an elk(most now cost more than a car), and its just an animal. We can save all the habitat in the world, cut out all the hunters SFW wants, and if the genetic lines are destroyed by dudes like this, WHAT GOOD DID IT DO?
