When I was about 18 or so, we had someone from Calif get a Shiras Moose tag in Utah.

The supposed hunter had never fired a gun before in his life. Had never hunted big game before. etc etc etc

His trophy was a ranchers roping horse.

Game and fish fined him. Confiscated his rifle. They informed the state of Calif which placed him on a 5 year hunting probation (no hunting).

And the rancher sued him for $25k stating the value of the horse and the cost to replace in.

I think all fines levied and suits settled cost him close to $50k

Think that was 1981.

James Pepper: There's no law west of Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chisum? John Chisum: Wrong, Mr. Pepper. Because no matter where people go, sooner or later there's the law. And sooner or later they find God's already been there.
