fines increased for poaching from a measly $300 or so, up to around $3,000 depending on offense and quantity.  also it's significantly higher if a poacher is caught doing the misdeeds with a youth present.  have to raise our kids right, right?

      It's been posted before.... NYS Senate Bill S4727B increases the fines for illegally taking (poaching) deer.
       
      it's passed through committee and passed unanimously 97-0 through the Assembly and passed through the environmental conservation committee in the senate.  It's possibly a couple days from a floor vote by the senate to be fully passed.  it only needs to be scheduled for a floor vote, in which it will surely pass by a land slide.  it just has to be scheduled.  the man that has to allow and schedule it for a floor vote is.....

      this is really close to getting passed and will give poachers much more reason for worry and reconsider doing it in the first place.  take a minute to get ahold of them and let them know you support it.
      FYI - you support this or you're the poacher!

      Not much to post for a reply to keep this from getting buried.  Really just to keep some informed with a meaningful, subject relevant political post. lol  An updated list of legislation that had to due with deer hunting some might find useful.  Anyway, do get your friends together to write into or see your representatives.  if any of these bills mean anything to you, they are your means to make things happen.
