[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3683616, member: 5412"] We went to ST Kitts as well and found the same intel from those we met on the island. It doesn't take much to get some time behind those steel doors just down from the resort we stayed at. Our boat captain said cursing in public might get one a weekend in the slammer. We felt very safe there. So, from a firsthand experience with poachers, I was told that all wildlife violations in OK are misdemeanors. Repeat offenders may lose license, vehicle and guns, they don't get jail time unless they don't pay the fines attached to the violation. Thats where they get them behind bars. There can also be trophy fee fines attached for poaching a big deer/elk or whatever. We live in the country. Leaving home to go to town one morning, I spotted a pickup driving erratically with two guys heads looking out into the wheat field. I spotted a dead buck out there about 200 yards away from the road. They acted really scared when I passed them. Drove to the next mile that is uphill, got out of sight and pulled over to glass them. Very few vehicles in this area. One guy got out and started towards the buck. Called Osage county GW Larry Green that lives about two miles away, told him of the situation and he was on scene in minutes. Pickup went by, GW did a traffic stop on him and found two fresh killed bucks in the back. The investigation found he had been poaching for years. Pics from his phone were matched to locations where the kills happened, DNA taken, and matched to racks at his home. Big time fines, etc, and he did go to the slammer for nonpayment of fines and other outstanding warrants. Stayed behind bars for over 90 days, and was released on an OR because they were tired of supporting him. Osage county deputies were waiting at the cell door to arrest him for nonpayment of fines for poaching in that county as well as outstanding warrants. His rap sheet is 10 pages long with domestic violence, theft, and so on. Meth head that doesn't sleep for days so he drives country roads and shoots deer. After his jail time about a year later I was helping a shooting event for ladies around Kaw Lake. Met up with GW again, and was told the guy was back out poaching, back on meth. These people use poaching not to get some meat, but to get a rack to brag on. We have people in the county where our farms are located that poach for sport and bragging rights, and that's stealing from honest sportsmen and women. [/QUOTE]
