Elk Shooter Sentenced for Park Poaching

July 16th, 2010

I noticed that my last two posts are law related. I apologize and promise to post some kind of hiking related post eventually. I’ve just been lazy. Okay I’ve not been lazy, I’ve been hiking. I’ll post info about it eventually!

I just got word from the Friends of the Great Smokies Mountain that a North Carolina man was sentenced for his 2009 poaching of a bull elk inside park grounds. He was sentenced to 150 days in jail, fined almost $9,000, and a slew of other things. You can find more info on the WYFF website.

I’m all for shooting for the pot, but I’m more for preserving our parks and wild life.
