Idaho Poacher Sentenced to Spending Elk Season In Jail for the Next Three Years

An Idaho man convicted of poaching must serve time—one month at a time. In a creative approach to handling wildlife crimes, a judge in Shoshone County, Idaho, sentenced Paul D. Coward to 90 days in jail, but he won’t serve those days consecutively. Instead, he must be incarcerated 30 days at a time once a year for three years in a row. The month he must be behind bars is also specific. September. That’s the elk archery season and for the next three years, starting in 2022, there’s no way Coward will be in the field. He’ll be in jail instead.

Time served is paired with $16,000 in fines, including $10,000 for unlawful possession of a mountain goat, which was killed in Washington and hid in Coward’s Idaho home. Coward also pled guilty to guiding without a license, conspiracy to provide illegal services, illegally hunting over bait, possessing wildlife taken illegally, and unlawful possession of firearms.

I get that it's kind of poetic justice and all. But, do poachers have a season or follow it anyway?   :scratch:

Yeah, I thought that too, but man-oh-man, it really would suck to have to spend the next 3 Novembers in the hoosegow because I poached a deer.

Not to mention the $16K.

Good for him, there are enough pigs in this world. One sitting 90 days only helps.

So, voice-activated of course!  :police: :police:   :rotflmao:
 
Minnesota's cellphone law prohibits all motorist from using a cellphone while driving unless in voice-activated or hands-free mode. Minnesota also has more specific laws that ban school bus drivers from personal cellphone use and motorists under age 18 from all cellphone use (whether handheld or hands-free). Penalties.
