I had actually watched these guys a couple times, I may have actually watched this episode. Its amazing how many of these TV idiots do illegal crap to get footage.

"They will pay fines totaling more than $31,000 and lose their hunting privileges for 15 years in 43 states participating in the Wildlife Violators Compact."
Now that is a punishment I like to see!!!

I have often wondered about some of these TV guys. Especially the Jim Shockey wannabe's. I think that a vast majority are good ones with the few bad apples mixed in. I would imagine that filming hunts and the pressure to show the shot would be huge.
Still I am glad that these guys got caught and are being punished, congrats to the viewer for catching on.

The were also charged with waste of big game animals in relation to the elk. WTF, Get you kill shot and your antler and let coyotes feast? Also lost hunting rights for 15 years in 43 states.

Douchebags!

What are the 7 states that will still let them hunt? I'm assuming Wisconsin is one of them :;:huh

Why not all 50 states?

Poaching is dumb enough. Video taping poaching and airing it on National TV is a whole new level of bonehead.

After living in Wy and hunting throughout the state, I guarantee you 99% of WY resident hunters that saw that footage threw the bullshit flag right away! What a bunch of fricken losers!!

I didn't see where they gave thanks and credit to the reporting party in the article. They touted the investigation, etc... did i miss it?

I wish more states were this tough on poachers.

Why the tough penalty on an elk or two, but if someone comes to our state and over harvests Walleye by 50-100 fish, they get fined and sent on their way. I would love to see those people added to the list and no longer allowed to hunt/fish in our state.
