As far as I am concerned that is not enough!!! They got caught this time with that amount of animals....probably not the first time they have done it. What is the son going to do with 3 muke deer and 3 moose?? I have hunted for 30 plus years and if I get a moose it lasts my family of 4 for a year...was he stocking his freezer for 3 years or more....?? It didn't say on the radio this am if he is banned for life from hunting or owning firearms etc, that is what should be happening because if he has been doing this for awhile he has made bigger profits that that!! I get people all the time wanting to buy game meat off me and I refuse to sell any!!!

This is my rant for today ;)
