The penalties for poachers dosen't seem like enough to me either. We caught one on our club once and they gave him a $250 fine. That was it. Just a slip on the wrist in my honest opinion. That's nothing compared to what we have to pay to lease the property. Who knows how many times he was poaching before we caught him. mad.gif

Poaching is a major problem indeed: I have an outdoor website and some guys were upset about a poacher. A couple of the poachers daughter's actually got on the site and started to defend their relatives actions! Needless to say, it was an interesting topic:

Check out the rationale of these ladies in this post:

The actual article is about 1/2 way done because I had to remove some of the offensive posts:

So because they were [ QUOTE ]

KOREANS

[/ QUOTE ] this was terrible? Why does nationality matter? If they were German would it have been an adequate fine? If they were Russian would the fine have been too severe?

One way to get away from the entire population of city dwellers thinking that hunters are rebel flag waving kkk members is to watch what we say.

I couldn't care less if they were white, black, or yellow. They're just poachers!. Not KOREAN poachers.

Being KOREAN poachers is probably why they took those particular body parts. Can't say for sure. But regardless of their nationality...they didn't get what they deserved.

This kind of stuff happens all the time , if they do get caught ,which around here is slim because the agents are spread so thin ,the fines are to little they just pay them and out the same night doing it again!! But we just have to keep turning them in,and helping the agents any way we can.

Actually being Korean probably had a lot to do with it.Gall bladders, bear paws, theres a big market for things like that over there.I watched a show one night where they were catching sharks and just taking the dorsal fin off them and throwing the live sharks back in the water.Another one was about tigers, which are endangered.There still being poached thanks in part to a high market for different body parts used by orientals.Theres big money in selling parts off of different species of animals over there where customarily theyre believed to have powers if eaten by people.If they werent from the U.S. and were orientals, caught with just bladders and legs off of the bear it probably got quite a bit to do with it as a matter of fact crazy.gif
