Did you read the second article? Dated July 24 of this year...

[Steeleco]

Lets hope the penalty is greater that the cost to prosecute them. And for Christs sake, don't ban them from hunting, because they weren't. They were poaching!

I wish when threads about published articles were done like this...the actual article and the link under it...

Like this:

Three men have been charged in the February 2013 killing of three cow elk in the Ruby Lake area, the BC Conservation Officer Service (COS) announced last week.

Kristopher Nichols, 36, of Pender Harbour was charged with six counts under the Wildlife Act, while two Powell River men — Bryn Foreman, 32, and Kyle Bessette, 31 — were each charged with one count under the Act.

“The Crown alleges the elk were shot at night, off a public highway, in an area closed to hunting and the discharge of firearms,” the COS said in a press release issued July 17.

The release said Nichols was charged with hunting wildlife out of season, hunting at night, hunting with the aid of a light or illuminating device, discharging a firearm in a no-shooting area (within the road allowance of Highway 101), hunting without reasonable consideration for the lives, safety or property of other persons, and possessing dead wildlife without authorization under a licence or permit, or as provided by regulation.

Foreman and Bessette were each charged with a single count of possessing dead wildlife without authorization under a licence or permit, or as provided by regulation.

The three accused are scheduled to appear in Sechelt provincial court Aug. 20.

A person who commits a first offence under the Wildlife Act is liable to a fine of not more than $100,000 or to a term of imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both, the COS release said.

After being wiped out by hunting in the early 1900s, Roosevelt elk were reintroduced to the Sunshine Coast about 25 years ago and are managed as a seed herd to re-establish elk populations in historic ranges on B.C.’s south coast.

But you looked your name up didn't you? That's ok, I checked mine too. Almost as bad as that "Lulu" app girls have for rating their ex's.

There's an idea for the hunting buddy match maker / personals thing. "Screw that sleazy caddisguy... told me he couldn't go huntin cause he was sick... decided to go myself anyway then I caught him in the bush deer huntin with my sister!!! That dog will hunt anything with anyone anywhere anytime... hope he catches fleas!"

Only a matter of time before there's a poacher/polluter/FSR-blocker shaming site too ;-P

Do u have troubles clicking the link?

[BiG Boar]

Apparently one of these guys is status. So who knows what will happen. It would be something if the white guys got fines and the natives didn't. I guess we'll wait and see.

[burger]

If that is the case big boar. I would not be surprised if anyone was charged. Talk the FN guy into claiming he shot them and gave the meat away. Traded for....

[walks with deer]

Lets invite him camping...

[BiG Boar]

Well they have been charged in this case.

[pinofire]

Great news hope they are punished to the full extent!

[Chopper]

not to often the CO's get a chance to lay charges on this type of thing ... if these guys are convicted I hope an example is made out of them

[burger]

Well they have been charged in this case.


Sorry I meant to imply that quite possibly nothing of substance will come of it. No convictions will be made.
