Yes ...because he pleaded down to those charges.

A deer of that caliber could easily cost $20K to shoot in a high fence, so I think the amount of the fine was easily justifiable.

Maybe those guys who poached at Fort Campbell were good guys too?
Those guys killed over 40 deer and as far as I know the only fine that was told was a local judge fined him for 10 accounts and gave him a $2500 fine IIRC
I would love to know the whole story of the fines. The claimed they had them on violations in TN, KY and federal. Kind of makes me mad that It wasn't posted everywhere

I think he got off easy! Should have been fined and had his liscense suspended for longe than a year.. He didn't have much of a hunting career till he killed that deer and I'd venture to say he has made millions off that buck so I'd say yes 20k is to easy.. He knowingly hunted and killed a deer that he knew he didn't have a tag for that property.. Poaching! If every single person did as he did then what's the point in even having game laws if its excusable? Go's to show that some people are ok with poaching if its a deer of that caliber or you stand to make a lot of money off said buck..
