And if I read that right the three of them are gonna pay $7,000 each for years of poaching. Sounds like a cheap Kansas lease to me. That’s probably the reason this crap keeps happening, not enough penalty when they’re caught.

Sounds like they just got a slap on the wrist! Should loose their hunting rights for life!!

Spent 4 years there, saw lots of huge deer and the elk on post. They should be in jail for along time

Where did you see them? I’d guess near the tank range. I always looked for them when visiting my kids but only saw some deer.

Exactly. Like that’s gonna stop them.

I like how they took the time to hang nails on the porch pillars to display their trophys.

On the training areas. We would wake up and they would be hanging out watching us.

Glad that they were caught, but really seems like insignificant fines and punishment for the amount of resources used to catch them. That's a shame!

I hate poachers

Spot on!

Cheap lease is right!
There’s no way that covers even the cost of the investigation.
As long as penalties are light it’ll keep happening.

Why not jail time for something like this?

You want them to face jail time for killing animals in a country where the government will pay to have your baby killed...don’t have too much common sense here, but I’m right there with you.
