I think it was 2005 I was flying to Zimbabwe to hunt. There were another couple of guys obviously hunting and we started talking. One guy insisted I look at his photo album of all his previous hunts. I didn't see a woman in any of the pictures, so I asked if he was married. "Oh, no!" he emphatically declared. Let that sink in - he traveled with a full-size photo album filled with pictures of himself. 'Reminds me of a guy on here.

Game Warden went to a local taxi studio. In his brochure, the oner/operator had a photo of a mounted road runner. Let's just say, the GW had lots of questions.

One of the best I've seen actually.

They made head of Cali fish and game resign because he had a legally harvested mountaion( from Idaho) in his house. The hell with that state. Sick people

Sick people If I read the law correctly you can’t possess any part of a mountain lion including taxidermy in CA even if it was taken legally in another state. Is that correct?

Correct, you could have 4x4” piece of hide with pelt tag and be in trouble, but 20lbs of dope or child porn, and you are good to go..

Yep.. stupid lefty lib law for sure. But the very small fines associated with the OP is a head scratcher. The three people, each with multitudes of violations, were only fined $1,865, $1,015, and $605 respectively? Not much of a deterrent.

Wow. We have to get the newly transplanted Californians on board with hunting. We can't lose our state to those horrendous laws.

I just don't understand if you're not the one made the kill
what is the draw to mounting on your wall
get the trophy thing, but what is the story
(YEP, GOT THIS ONE FROM A WALMART IN BUMFRICKEDEGYPT)
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting.......holy kaka.....What a Ride!
