Another Poacher,,,

Brainerd man charged with shooting and killing 700-pound black bear on the Red Lake Indian Reservation | Brainerd Dispatch

The Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians does not permit non-Indians to hunt bear, a clan animal, within the boundaries of the Red Lake Indian Reservation, due to the bear’s spiritual importance to the band.

Knucklehead for sure, but that's a heck of a bear!

Should be more than a misdemeanor. He poached. He trespassed. He wasted the kill. And THEN he was stupid enough to BRAG about it all.

 

[dirtclod Az.]

Poaching is a crime...Criminals go to Prison!Hang Em; High.

 

[mallardsx2]

They should let the Indians cut his head and paws off.

Fairs fair right?

 

[kidoggy]

very least he should pay much wampum!

 

[dirtclod Az.]

Indians should hang him over a fire head down til' his
brains boil and his head explodes then eat him over an open spit fire!

 

[mallardsx2]

Wow. Thats graphic.

 

[kidoggy]

but true.it's time we stopped being so civilized and tolerant of dirtbags.

 

[dirtclod Az.]

Wow. Thats graphic.

Ever wish you lived in the old west?...Me too!

 

[kidoggy]

this would certainly be a much more polite society if we were more like the old west.

The misdemeanor charge seems too light for the various crimes committed here, hopes there is a big fine that comes with a conviction.
That being said no matter how high the fines are for poaching there are always people that still do it no matter the potential repercussions.

Why do they let these guys off so damn easy. It's no wonder we keep having stories like this. Our criminal justice system is so messed up

By there very nature they are going to poach no matter what the fine is. I and others believe that they need to start giving them some good jail time. But they won't do that due to the fact that it isn't a crime against people along with the fact that our jails are overcrowded now. Look at DUI and DWI's, very seldom do any of them do any real jail time.

Also taking away their ability to purchase a license for a year, two years, 10 years or even a lifetime isn't going to stop them.

our jails are only overcrowded because we pamper criminals. most of the druggies that occupy them would rather be kept in prison then have to be responsible for their own welfare . it is my belief that it is long past time to simply exterminate all prisoners regardless of the offense and start from scratch.

I know … our society is much to sqeamish for this , so we are doomed to mere slaps on the wrist and the endless circle of nothing ever being accomplished.

heartless stance ??? maybe. but the plain ,simple truth is poor decisions have consequences! I can forgive poor decisions but even with forgiveness people must be responsible for the decisions they make, that hurt other people . our society has forgotten this .

thank GOD they are dumb enough to brag.

I wonder what poaching was like pre 1985? Was it similar, more, less. I know it was around but I truly wonder if the internet and social media has increased poaching?

 

[kidoggy]

from hearing stories,I am of the opinion,the older generations were made up of some poaching MOFOs.

I seriously doubt it is any worse now then ever.

 

[JimP]

When social media showed up it just allows the poacher a platform to brag of his so called hunting skills to post his trophy pictures. I do doubt that it is any worse now than it had been before social media. It just gives the authorities a easy platform to find them.

It is a lot like when they came out with those lights on sneakers. A cop was chasing a crook at night in a dark park and was able to catch hime by the crooks stupidity. The crook was wearing a pair of those sneakers that lit up when they hit the ground and every time that he would move from one spot to another the cop could see right where he was at. The cop did mention that if it wasn't for stupid crooks they wouldn't be able to catch half of them.
