Interesting point he makes but it is an example of what I believe is the constant erosion of willingness for the judicial system to fulfill it's duties within the structure of our society. That said, if I was a judge or a prosector I'd find it hard to spend time of dealing with a poached deer as compared to what it likely a huge court backlog of violent crimes waiting to be dealt with. It's just too bad that the value of the infraction isn't more, like $5,000 instead of $250 (yep, it's been a long day so it's reflected in my number). So, if I hunt on property that I own or have permission to be on and decide to shoot a nice velvet buck next year I only get an infraction and a $250 fine. Sad and ridiculous, especially if the law would allow the individual to keep the poached deer. But again, why does this happen? Because society doesn't value wildlife, sportsmen don't speak up enough to make the court system take these situations serious enough and instead sportsmen are focused more on themselves then the wildlife, in general. Not meant to point fingers at folks here because I firmly believe that guys here are outliers in that you do care, but "we" are in the vast, vast minority.
