Hard Core Poachers Caught, Tennessee

[Renegade Hunter]

Just read this figured I would pass it along. Some real dirt bags here. For some reason I don't think the punishment is enough. I would hate to not be able to hunt for 44 years though..

It says they are banned from hunting in 44 States . I didn't see any monetary fine . The authorities should have hit them in the wallet !

From USA Today:

 

Along with the lifetime ban, they also were ordered to pay $1,000 each in court costs, $5,000 in restitution, had their weapons — a rifle and a crossbow — confiscated, must perform 100 hours of community service for the TWRA and were placed on 18 months probation.

 

Still, I would have hit them for a lot more $ than that plus jail time.  Bans mean nothing to a poacher.  They were willing to illegally take deer anyway...why would you need a license to continue to illegally take deer?

I guess it's better than not banning. These fines were probably pre-inflation prices. What can you get for $1000 these days?
