Default RE: Laws are to Easy on those that break them

It really should be a stiff penalty. I like the idea that they loose overything that was involved in the use of the Crime. I wish they would do that here. It that scenario he would have lost the truck, rifle, ATV and the Deer. Might make folks think twice about poaching.
I talked with the local DNR agent last year. They one of those Mechanical bucks to get roadside hunters and they set up stings. Well last year on the last day of Rifle they set it up about 100yards of the road and they ended up getting over 23 people in 8 hours shooting at this deer from their vehicles. And each only got a small fine. Why bother doing it. He said all he can do is work the Law the way it is written. I think I am goin to spend some time writing some law makers.
