This may have already been posted. Definitely old news but I thought I would throw it out there anyway.

Can't say I do Weste but you would think so, some of those convictions are 2, 3 years old now.

Sounds like it hasn't gone to court yet?

So here is the lowdown.. summer 2016 edition of western canadian game warden, there is a 6 page write up. the convictions were as follows: colton campbell age 21 was charged with 51 counts and convicted on 8, sentence is 90 days in jail, $45,000 fine and lifetime hunting ban.
- derek brown age 22 was charged with 53 counts and convicted on 8 counts, sentence is 9 month conditional sentencing order, which includes house arrest and strict curfew conditions, a $45,000 fine and lifetime hunting ban.
- tayler brown age 20 was convicted on 7 counts, sentence is $25,000 fine and lifetime hunting ban.
- devan dozorec age 19 was charged with 27counts and convicted on 5 counts, sentence is $10,000 fine and 10 year hunting ban.
- michaela scott age 20 was charged with 7 counts and convicted on 4 counts, sentence is $10,000 fine and lifetime hunting ban.
- an unidentified minor was convicted on 5 counts , sentence is 200hrs of community service and a 5 year hunting ban.

Those sentences should hurt a little.  Not sure its enough but it will at least get their attention.

 $25,000 fine and lifetime hunting ban.

Yup it's gonna hurt big time for that 20 year old and he only has himself to blame.

Yeah I'm glad they got hit in the pocket book.  Probably the only thing these pin heads feel. 

agreed.  Although i am not sure hunting bans mean much to this type of poacher.  They dont respect rules and wildlife anyway.

Maybe not but I bet the next time they will get some serious jail time. Nice to see the penalties getting stiffer! (ouch)

Love seeing those life time bans... 


Should come with a condition that if they are ever caught hunting it's automatic jail time.

Agreed!!!!!

Criminal ......makes you hope there are a couple of biker
 Type PETA members in the general population . So they get
  A beating every day just to keep the experience fresh.
   These are all country people , likely meth heads , there
    Is some crazy shit going on in those small country towns .
   I didn't notice any firearms offences .

Sometimes when it's younger kids ( 15 - 17 ) I am one for forgiving and not persecuting them to the bone, but these weren't kids these were some older guys that darn well knew better.
