RE: Moose Poacher .......
That's the kind of hunter who ruins it for the rest of us. It's bad enough that this species of Moose is so rare but for him to kill 2 calves and their cow shows a complete disregard for the species in general. His saying I'm sorry doesn't cut it anymore, he's already been caught and fined for poaching 3 times before. He will do it again if given a chance.
And for god sake, a 22cal. That's a varmint gun, not a big game rifle. He was taking head shots with a very light weapon so he could bring the game down quick and quiet so he wouldn't get caught.
If meat was an issue why wasn't he hunting rabbits and other small game. No folks I have no sympathy for him. He's a dirty rotten poacher and deserves much more. He was killing moose just to kill them, meat was secondary. He wanted the thrill of breaking the law and getting away with it.
