Is it me, or are the laws becoming too numerous and excessively harsh considering the crime? I do not consider an environmental crime worthy of such large fines or imprisonment, at least not the first 3, but violent criminals get off without the justice system batting an eye. It is stories like this that make me wince at what is happening to our country.

The EPA needs to rot out. It's the very reason our economy sucks. It's the reason our businesses move to china. The save the squirrel fees and taxes are hiked up to a hostile amount
Control.“Total control of your life – that’s what they want,” said Gould, who has been prosecuted on fishing violations. “You take away the incentive for somebody to do something bit by bit by bit. It’s like peeling the layers off an onion. You can only peel so much and then you don’t have any onion left.”

There are too many alphabet soup government organizations that have outlived their usefulness and should have been eliminated long ago. The DEA, OSHA, ATF and EPA are but just a few that violate peoples rights with useless and overbearing regulations and they create more regulations just to justify their existence.

I don't buy that a person with a hunting license for their state doesn't know the laws about hunting there. I also don't think he should have gotten 60 days in jail for it. The fine was enough. I agree though, that real criminals get off easy.

The EPA has grown out of control. It is time to completely cut funding and start up a new agency that has solutions rather than road blocks.

It's pretty bad when people face stiffer penalties for shining a light on a deer while holding a gun than breaking into your house and shining a light on YOU while holding a gun. Next time someone breaks into my house, I'm calling the rabbit police and telling them someone is illegally hunting deer in my living room. That might actually get them some jail time.

No Guns, No Safety, No Peace.
Guns are like sex and air...its no big deal until YOU can't get any.

What I think they are saying is that its not part of the local hunting law or the game code, The environmental rules made it illegal! And the government is taking advantage of the hidden rules. DR
