I knew it would get pulled. Folks get off work, the whiskey starts flowing, and they can't (or won't) control what they say. Opinions flare, personal rivalries get mixed in. Next thing you know it is a dumpster fire. I didn't watch it go down in flames last night but I imagine it did so in typical fashion. It usually follows the same pattern.

How does the state of Texas determine the amount of the fine? Just curious.

I think in a couple days I’ll post a link and pretend like I don’t know they have had 50 threads about it. Title something like. Did anyone see this huge buck poached in Denton? Then I’ll just sit back and watch lol.

I imagine they know about this thread and are watching it too. No secrets on da innanet. You have already ratted yourself out. I don't know that for a fact, but....

Oh they do and some of the posts here had been flagged for removal because they didn't like the content here either... you think I'm kidding, nope.

Y'all should have seen the thread over there from when I tried to choke a live bobcat. Those pansies freaked out.

What happens if for some reason he doesn't pay all the fine?

He won't be able to hunt here and most states until it is paid. Then you pay $100 more to be reinstated. I guess if you don't pay it in a reasonable time, they could take you to court and figure out a way to get it.

if a man will poach not once but THREE times, why the #@$% would he care if he can buy a license too hunt legally?

Well, that sure answers a lot of questions. Shot after dark and on a neighbors property, both of which he knew when he was doing it. Also sounds to me like the deer from 2 years prior was shot from the same stand on the neighbors property, which makes it poached as well. Plus the incident in 2004 sets a pretty solid pattern of behavior. For sure it wasn't just a simple "Ooops I made a mistake." Pretty cut and dried in my book. For sure that GW report was not "speculation".

Guess we will see if the mods over on TBH let the current thread over there run. My bet is it gets whacked too. The members over there actually need some closure since he was a member in good standing, yet he has confessed to poaching two record class deer. At some point admin has to let the chips fall where they may.
