F'in jerk I'd throw the book at him.

He isn't the the only idiot in the story.....

A pet harvester had already agreed to pay $20,000 for that!?!?!?

So that is the markup on deer like that? Pay 9k and charge 20k... good to know, not that I would ever be in the market.

Same thing happened over here with hunter leasing property from our company and high fence was built on adjoining prop. He couldn't take and busted a giant 8 pt. that had come from up north complete with ear tags and tatoo. Made a rabbit hole under fence and got whole deer out. Took it to local processor where the locals said "never seen anything like that before around here." Got off pretty easy.

Somebody paid $20,000 for a chance at that buck. He should have got felony theft and served time in prison. It blows my mind.

Re: Worlds Dummest Poacher - 06/29/20 09:10 PM

I take one thing proven twice from this story.
1. He was dumb enough to think he could get away with it.
2. There is some dang fool who would pay $20,000 to hunt it.

Deer do make people stupid.

Add a third thing about the idiots that judge others on how they spend their money. That's alot more stupid than someone who has the coin spending $20k on a deer

his bloodsucking attorneys would claim he wasn't hunting, he was poaching, so cant take his huntin privlages away. prolly would have been a lot worse fine if it hadn't have been on private property.

Dishonest people do dishonest things.

I bet those guys that are dumb enough to outlaw hunt in this day and time are not the most honest folks around and outlaw hunting is not the only laws they are breaking.

Re: Worlds Dummest Poacher - 07/17/20 07:01 PM

Simple. He doesn’t care about repercussions because ultimately he will be protected or lightly sentenced because of race. As seen once again by fine.


You want a good read go luck up “Herrera Vs Wyoming”. A tribal GAme warden (none the less) that was coming off Crow reservation crossing into Wyoming and poaching heads in National Forest. He even tried to derail the investigation with Wy state game warden by acting like he was helping on investigation. Got caught and refuted it was his right by treaty, to hunt there any time he wants and do as he pleases...... He won.

Re: Worlds Dummest Poacher - 07/23/20 07:56 PM

he should have got about 5000 hrs of community service

Re: Worlds Dummest Poacher - 07/29/20 12:39 PM

The story doesn't mention if he had any previous violations on his record which, to me, should have been included. I don't know how I feel about going to jail for poaching if he was a first-time offender but one year without hunting and a $9,000 fine seems a pittance to pay.
