Holy shit.

However, I can assure you, most of us Washingtonians can't hit the broad side of a barn so your wildlife as little to fear.

Dang. Those fines seem super low.

Already looked him up. Looks like Mr. Kerr is a relatively close neighbor of mine at Rock Creek.

Agree. I’ve had speeding tickets more than some of those fines.

Hell @neffa3 the one is damn near your neighbor, you can meet him in Cashmere for a beer…then kiss his ass!

Plus they drive like assholes! Seriously, driving through MT on 90 and every time I go to pass somebody there's some prick from WA plugging up the passing lane.

I already tried looking him up. He either doesn't own a house in his name or moved already.

Also, I'm not kink shaming but I'm not much of an ass kisser. And just to put it to rest, I'm also not much of an ass kicker.

Damn spell check!

Congratulations to the Wardens who worked on that investigation !!!

kerr got a bunch of covid money. probably new his income from hunters was drying up,,,,,

Wow.....thats a lot of poachers from Washington.


I always wondered how many big bucks we would all have to choose from if everyone just played by the rules. I bet it would blow your mind. When I hunted in Montana I thought to myself, there are so many deer here and not many bucks. Honestly, what could have happened to them all....I just kept telling myself that I would find one eventually and fact of the matter is that I never did see, even a bottom end, "Shooter buck". My dad commented on how Montana would be a poachers dream come true. I guess it really is and maybe that why there are not many bucks there? I dunno.

Makes one wonder what happens when richy riches don't draw tags for their huge ranches.

You shouldn't have to wonder much. More than a few think that they are in the west of 1880 when they get out in the middle of Eastern Montana

The cost of fines for poaching has always confused me. If an offender is willing to travel across the country from Massachusetts, Florida, or even WA, then they can afford to 'scratch the itch' of these petty fines.

While the poachers are making poor moral choices, their justification to take animals is both logical and practical even if they get caught. For this reason, states should consider raising poaching fines to cost at least more than the average price of guided hunts.

I wasn't really.
