Young Hunter.

I can’t wait to hear more of the facts in this “Case”. It doesn’t sound like the punishment fits the crime at all. He admits to knowing the barn was there so yes by the letter of the law he’s busted on that. But he’s being treated like and labeled a poacher. Shooting to close to a barn is a safety violation not a trespassing / poaching offence.
“J-walking across the street to go into the bank doesn’t mean you are guilty of bank robbery. Or maybe it does in Pine Hills. “

Just to chime in, the Josh is a friend of mine and heard the story from him. there are some technicalities involved in the citation it's self and also Josh' hunt. I know Josh is a good kid who is a ethical hunter and someone who follows the law as best a human being can. Not saying he's 110% in the right but there are players in the background of this incident who are not so nice people. By the way I won a nice handmade skinning knife one year at the lake Henshaw deer contest, nothing like what SCH has.

Doesnt the dfg have something better to do? Like catch poachers not investigate legally taken deer. I think the law making it illegal to shoot within 150 yards of a house shpuld be change to exclude bows as long as the shot is in a safe direction. just my .02
That is just like California. I love it and dont think I'll ever leave but I hate it at the same time. I get a little bummed out when I think of the money I pay to dfg and this type of stuff happens. I know dfg does a lot of good work too but don't slam a good hunter for something like this.

There are only two ways that he can get it back.
1, The DA drops the charges 2, He goes to court and wins.
He cant even plead guilty to a lesser charge. It's considered a conviction, and its gone.

I have no doubt that they could but can we get them the approval to swoop down and kick some GW a$$ ;D
