Be nice if somebody gets that truck for a good deal at auction. Hope they seized his rifle too.

For those poaching while already driving stolen trucks it's a less painful punishment.

You will likely see this more often with the way the economy is going. People out of jobs will be desperate to feed their families.

I don't think that the perpetrator was struggling to feed his family. He could have sold that Raptor truck of his and picked up a 90's GMC half ton for $1500. That would leave a lot of money for red meat...

Not ones driving Ford Raptors though, if you're managing to keep it fueled you're not truly desperate, despite gas being lower for the time being.

If the total adds up to $37,000 between the truck and the fine then someone needs to brush up on their math.
$8,000 fine + 2013 Raptor doesn't = $37,000.
Unless the Raptor was in really really bad shape.
Either way, it is a great start and I'd like to shake the hand of that judge.

x2 Until the penalties become a real deterrent, poaching will continue.
Kudos to both the judge and the hunters who reported it.

The fine itself was fairly small IMO (only $8000) for something like a moose. The fact that his truck was forfeited probably made it sting a bit more.

Hmm, is moose replacing black bear as the aphrodisiac of choice? The replies after the article are entertaining to say the least.

The convicted poacher and his friends and associates were in " the meat business" there was more than just one or two moose/ ungulates of unknown numbers poached by these scum ,
I doubt if this will stop thier wild meat cartell , now they will just make up for the LOST investment ,,

Bizarre. Is this "meat business" associated with a particular segment of the demographics?

nope. these guys were probably after a bear and just killed the first thing they saw. Grew up in Vancouver. when mom's friends (yes,Chinese)found out I was a hunter they used to pester me to get them a bear . Idiots think bear paw and gal bladders were magic . I will bet those old beliefs are still there .
