boulder pd elk killers arrested

The texts seal the deal. I think they will throw the book at them. Bad shoot. Better an elk than my dog :)

Like I said earlier, the DOW hates poachers and does a fantastic job investigating and prosecuting them, no matter who they are.

It took so long because the DOW makes damn sure they build a solid case for each and every poaching. Some poaching cases take years to file charges.

Those guys are gonna sizzle, crackle and fry like bacon, and they deserve it IMO. They deserve the exact same consequences that any of us, or a couple of rednecks from Texas would face. Their badges should provide absolutely NO protection for them for what they did. It was planned and premeditated, and they have absolute proof of it.

I frequently read the news posts of CPW, and even repeat poachers over many years of poaching trophy's don't get jail time. Typically a large fine and loss of hunting privileges. I suspect these police officers will not get jail time and if they do, only because someone is making an example of them. Either way, they will never be police officers again (rightly so).

Cheers,
Tim

They should have to do a couple years of community service as road kill scoopers.

Ya, I just caught the 8 years. Didn't see the counts, sorry. Couldn't read the story on my iPad.

Where in the hell did that come from? What is the charge for being a redneck from Texas? Is it normal for a redneck from Texas to hunt out of season or without a tag?

They would have, if it weren't for those meddling kids...

Just an example. It's not unheard of for out of state yahoos to go to other states and poach critters. They come from all over, Texas was just an example. Don't get all butt hurt or anything.

Thanks for the clarification. If this state goes too blue, I may have to run down to Texas.
