Now that's some hardcore grinding it out next level poaching. I guess if you're going to get jail time, this is the type of stuff that #earns-it.

Gawd damn. One guy had 4 bull moose and multiple sheep. Who would buy a story about someone getting 6 basically once in a lifetime tags?

I read that this morning, I was pretty blown away by the magnitude of it for sure.

Vick mounted a deer head for me. He was cheap, fast, and did a good job. I called and asked if he would mount a deer last year and he said he couldn’t. I see why now lol

 

[NoWiser]

Whoever did that bobcat mount should serve time, too. Yikes.

You should have seen his duck mounts. Looked like he used a garden hose to make the necks and a golf ball for the heads. Lol

I worked in that prison in Rawlins up until two months ago.

This stuff pisses me off

Get a rope

 

[NECALI]

Can’t understand how someone would so blatantly disregard the laws. What thief’s.

Vick was sentenced to more than one year of prison time and his hunting and fishing privileges were revoked for life. According to WGFD, he is currently serving out his time in a state penitentiary in Rawlins, Wyoming. He owes $40,320 in fines and $32,000 in restitution.

Now we’re getting somewhere with punishment.

Not like he cares about buying licenses anyway and he works for cash or bitcoin so the fines will just sit there while he collects unemployment and food stamps. I'm sure he'll tell the employment department that he's "holding out for a position in management".

True but can’t get out of the slammer time. Should be longer IMO.

“He additionally abandoned three bighorn sheep rams, three moose, seven elk, eight antelope, one mule deer, a walrus mask, and one gull mount to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service after the November 2017 search warrant.”

I’m not sure what that word “abandoned” entails- anyone care to explain?

They should have to take hunters safety and do the field day. Maybe Muley Freak can film it for us?
I'd smash the like button on that video.

Maybe that's media speak for "forfeited"?
