"...we decided not to ‘throw the book at them’ because they confessed,” said Clay Pipkin, Live Oak County game warden.

[True Grit]

Where are PETA and all those animal rights folks?

[null and void]

Honesty is the best policy?

They saved the county the expenses of a trial, and God knows how many man-hours. (and the possibility of losing the case outright)

They’re still going to get some lumps, and hopefully learn a lesson.

I’m comfortable with that judgement call.

Throw the books at the pond scum, and remove their rights to ever own a firearm again. In Virginia all of the guns and vehicles used in the killing would be the property of the state.

[tet68]

Yeah, something fishy about this story, where I’m from
they would have gotten slapped hard. Confiscation of all
vehicles and weapons used to start...

[null and void]

Nice. Why not seize their houses as well?

[SwinneySwitch]

Pollution ping!

If you want on, or off this S. Texas/Mexico ping list, please FReepMail me.

If you shoot out of the house that would be ok. What part of illegal do you not understand.

[old gringo]

in va everything is property of the state.

[Steamburg]

Clearly, these guys are too stupid to realize that if we have a couple more years of this administration, those deer would look mighty good in the stew pot. Seizing their property sounds like a good start. Poaching for food would have been a forgivable crime. Poaching for fun is not.

I’m thinking the Grandpa is a fine upstanding member of the community and kept those boys out of more serious trouble.

[null and void]

What part of illegal do you not understand.

Probably some part close to having the punishment fit the crime.

Suppose he took his kid along, would you seize the kid?

Where do you draw the line?

He misused his life to kill a deer, do you take his life as well?

[Grimmy]

The State seizing any property for such crimes as this, strikes me as plenty fine reason to be having organized neck stretching parties with the legislators that wrote such laws as guests of honor.

[TigersEye]

Yep.

[SwinneySwitch]

And you live in Kalefornia!?

Don’t be fooled by the noise that comes out of Californicationland.

There’s a rather huge swath down the central valley that is not at all libertarded. Problem is, we’re as much hostages to the dishonorable, disingenuous, no integrity having, no rule of law following DNC as the rest of the country.

Silly conservatives keep thinking that following the rules has inherent value and “high moral ground” means more than a handful of squat when dealing with this domestic enemy.

Folk are coming around though. The rage break, when it happens, is tending toward the spectacular.

But, yeah. Currently, we’re under siege conditions. That’s why many of the homes in many of the neighborhoods in many of the towns from Kern County to Fresno, are armed and stocked enough to withstand an epic zombie horde attack.

I'm a hunter, killed deer for most of my life, but I always ate the deer, all of the edible parts. When I was young(way back in the day,11 to age 17)my brother and I kept our family in meat by killing deer(Ok, maybe some were out of season, I can't remember)but we always used the deer, all of it.

We had a game warden in the county and he would not arrest poachers that were killing deer to eat(unless they became excessive, and he was pretty liberal with that view), but would let them go. However, anyone killing a deer out of season, or at night in season, that killed just for the rack or for a few choice(backstrap comes to mind)cuts of meat were arrested and the book thrown at them.

These guys need to do some serious jail time and their hunting privileges suspended for ever, IMO.

[org.whodat]

BS, you apparently were not alive when dear were far and few between, it took such laws to bring them back to hunt-able levels.

[org.whodat]

A man that live over the hill from me shot four deer and left them laying. I sent him a message, he would never hear the 25-06 if it happened again.

[null and void]

For that you would murder him?

Interesting...
