According to this article, a US District Attorney is investigating an alleged hunting violation by a former Outdoors Channel show host. I can understand it if it's an endangered species violation but this??
Deer Poacher
Deer Poacher
WTF, shouldn't it be a state issue. Feds don't issue hunting permits.
Now as far as what he is accused of doing, if guilty, fuck'em he had a deer. Poachers are thief's plan and simple.
When the Kings men shoot deer with silenced rifles at night in a shot gun county is that theft? If not why is it different when a private person would do the same thing?WTF, shouldn't it be a state issue. Feds don't issue hunting permits.

who they stealing from?
I doubt there's been a successful Lacey prosecution in recent years.
Deer belong to the people of the state. Poachers steal from EVERYONE when they illegally kill wildlife. Hunters lobbied FOR game laws to protect wildlife populations for future generations. This is neither the first nor will it be the last instance of a TV “personality” breaking game laws for views. Poachers are thieves. Bury them under the prison, all of them.

You’d be wrong. The Lacey act covers all CITES plants and animals...
Most here wouldn't give a shit , but poaching is a very real problem. Poaching for profit is what you're all watching on t.v.
Meanwhile I'll buy more ammo
I think Gibson guitar got raided a few years ago for Lacey and paid a fine.

...plus the CEO donated to the Republican party. So there's that.Since you mention it... the stupid part about it is it was all political, all about destroying American jobs.
They got fined because they imported the wood (that they bought legally but some government tool claimed some obscure paperwork was not filed in a foreign country) and had American workers get paid to finish it.
Had they imported the same wood, but chose to have some foreign workers do all the work like the rest of the Communist supporting big evil corporations, ahead of time and just import it all finished so no US workers got any jobs... No problem at all.
Just goes to show, totally messed up political BS from our government.
