Headlines here in Montana involve a individual appointed for State Congressional director.Basically a poacher who thinks he's above the law & can get away with wildlife violations. Our Rep. wasn't aware of the "charges". 1.Obstructing a Peace Officer 2.Killing more than one elk w/out authorization. 3.Abandoning the carcass of a spike elk in the field. 4.Hunting &Harvesting spike elk during closed season. If convicted(?) his fine is $2,940, 24 mos. loss of hunting/fishing privilages- each count, and 6 mos.in jail. This type of "Sportsmanship" is rampant in our nation ,and my home State. Follow the written regulations where you are at, common-sense,and Respect for the resource, and we will all get along a whole lot better. I'm tired of looking the other way.Wise-Up & Pull-Up.
