They still need to start adding jail time in these cases.

Fines are nothing, along with the suspension of their licenses. They have proven that they don't care about a season or legal weapon.

I agree Jim. It’s getting outta hand.

He got off pretty light imo. Like stated give him jail time.

that matters cause criminals obey laws.

It goes along with a felon possessing a firearm which is against the law, that needs to be enforced.

As they say, we don't need any new laws we just need to enforce the laws that are on the books.

“Celebrity” hunters are a joke! Each year more and more of these clowns get busted doing illegal crap. The problem is…..a lot of younger hunter/kids look up to these types of guys and think they’re great and awesome hunters. Then they do crap like this. Great examples for the youth and general public!!!! It’s no different when star athletes turn out to be complete scumbags!!!
