This doesn't really belong in this section of ethical hunters, but this pig got cracked good. I hope they put a lifetime revocation on his hunting privileges. I wish he would have to do time, as well.

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo. -- A New York man has been fined $12,090 after being accused of illegally shooting a trophy bull elk near Glenwood Springs.
Division of Wildlife officials said 35-year-old Thomas W. Post of Massena, New York, killed the bull elk on a private ranch on Sept. 27.
Post was fined $2,090 for hunting without a proper license and unlawful possession of wildlife, both misdemeanors. He was also fined $10,000 under the state's so-called Samson Law, which increases penalties because of the trophy nature of the animal.
An administrative hearing will determine whether Post loses his hunting privileges. A message left Saturday at a number listed for Post was not immediately returned.
Rifle hunting season begins next Saturday
