After working with criminals for years, that's "all they got caught doing".

Some are smarter and have done far worse and never got caught. it's just a sign of our times. Guides can green score a Bull Elk on the hoof and charge $$ accordingly. Too much emphasis on the finished "product" instead of just going hunting anymore. Magazine writers have contributed to this mess as equals. The average Joe who reads these rags thinks he can just show up and get a trophy rack. Here's one for you, how many Boone and Crocket animals were taken with Night Vison Scopes? Game Wardens deserve our respect and help.

Most of these arrests are made after an anomyous tip from a Taxidermist.

just my 2 cents...
