Couple things that should be noted here. Unit 61 is a well known trophy unit and requires about 9 points for an archery tag. The two units in question are divided by a road. There is no way that someone could accidentally stumble into the wrong unit. Unit 61 is very well marked and you would have to be really stupid to make this kind of mistake.The reason the fines were so high in this case is becausethe poacherviolated Colorado's "Samson Law" when he killed a trophy elk. This was no accident and in my opinion if he loses his hunting priviliges for 5 years in addition to the fines then he will have gotten what he deserves. How would you like to wait 9YEARS to get into this unit only to have some scumbag slip in and poach your elk?
