Influencers Ruining Stuff

[Wind Gypsy]

I'll never forget a hunt with my dad over 20 years ago. We were in a blind a decent buck came out dad pulled up his open sight winchester model 94 30-30 and took aim. And aimed and aimed some more then put the gun down. When questioned why he said "son I can see the deer, the front post, and rear sight but not at the same time. It's hell getting old."

Similar issue with my dad last year, sucks!

Wyoming wildlife managers nabbed Rodney Gilstrap for poaching. He denies everything.

For years, Rodney Gilstrap roamed western Wyoming's wilderness, bagging remarkable trophy animals and snapping photos that would make any hunter jealous. But there was one problem. Game wardens said he did it all illegally.

One of my favorite types of school girls like this guy is “I’m not a social media guy” But I post pictures of my kills on social media for anyone to see.

What a tool….and a thief.

• Conviction & Penalties: Jimmy Duncan was ordered to pay
  $17,500$ 17 comma 500
  in fines/restitution, and Ricky Mills was ordered to pay
  $13,460$ 13 comma 460

• Additional Violations: Investigations revealed Duncan had also illegally poached an antelope in 2013.
• Consequences: Both men were entered into the Wildlife Violator Compact, preventing them from hunting in 43 other states.
