Better idea?? Here's the right one: If you want to stop the problem you describe, the answer isn't to charge everyone more for a tag. That's typical lefty, gun-control sort of thinking.  The answer is to quadruple the fines for actually hunting with another person's tag, confiscate trucks, impose jail time. Basically punish the guilty, not the innocent. |
I totally agree quadrupling the fines and jail time and what ever else. Hopefully they make a good example out of the Edson poachers. As for hunting with someone else's tag it is pretty easy to have a bill of landing pre-made and in less they are caught in the act who's to know the difference. Maybe increasing the costs of tags could go to more enforcement in the field?
