Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Alaska Goat poaching made the news

20 YO dummfukk

I didn't put in for the K-town road system goat draw this year. Just turned 60 - I think I'm out of that game for good.

Mixed emotions on that article.

Good the poacher was caught and punished, but seems like a fantastic case was largely pissed away.

Don’t let the old man in.

Go at your pace, not your 25yo pace. 👍

Good advice. Nothing wrong with enjoying the 25 yo pace either....vicariously anyway! 😁

I'm guessing he got worse on the CG end of things and that led to the unusually soft sentencing.

I'm putting in for goat like I do every year. Haven't drawn it in the 16 years I've applied. Chasing them either here or elsewhere this season....just be nice to get the easy ones I see while cutting firewood.

Hey Musky,,,,,, don't count yourself out yet, I got 13yrs on you, and I went Sheep Hunting again this year, 12 days Solo, same as the last few yrs, my old Hunting Pard, pasted on a few yrs ago now.... Lj in Alaska.

Yeah I got crazy years putting in for that tag. Odds keep getting worse.

I am flying in for goat next fall irregardless of the draw.

5k is a lot less expensive than a guided hunt. There is no deterrent in that sentence.

He should have gotten jail time, a HUGE fine, forfeit his rifle and vehicle, and lose his license to hunt and fish for 10 years. Correct on there being no deterrent there.

If anyone takes umbrage at the outcome of the case, they should feel free to call the Ketchikan District Attorney's office at (907) 225-6128 and discuss the importance of wildlife crime consequences.

He got a really good deal. Killed TWO trophy's and only had to pay $2500 per...

Sounds like a dumb, fresh to alaska coastie?

That’s rock bottom poaching a stinking goat.

That's exactly what I would like to see. It's one thing to go easy on some Sourdough tipping over a Moose out of season to feed his family, but this just disgusted me.
