Total disregard for wildlife management

Colorado man banned for life from hunting fishing and trapping. Apparently this is his third time being caught, not counting the many times that he wasn't.

Although I think he deserves it, I doubt it will stop him. It hasn't stopped in yet

my guess also he will continue to do it ,
to me just like drunks or druggies on the road ( or even saved with narcan countless times ) and unlicensed drivers still keep driving and or getting stoned oh toss in uninsured driers odds are in there favor of not getting caught or facing any real penalties
our country has bent over kissing there butts no one has the money and recourse to house ( prison ) for all of them so let them go and the public deal with them

According to the paper, he was sentenced BEFORE to 27 months in a Fed prison.
That didn't stop him, so you think apiece of paper with a "don't do it again" warning will???
Lock his butt up.

""Bodnar has been the subject of illegal hunting investigations before. In 2008, he was convicted of conspiracy to violate the Lacey Act of 1900, which prohibits selling or trading wildlife or fish that has been possessed illegally, and received 27 months in federal prison.""

There are statutory limits on what a judge can sentence. We started putting those limits in place after our experience in England before 1776, when a judge could execute people for stealing a loaf of bread. It's probably a good thing. Justice isn't always fair.

Very true BUT,

Everybody knows that a federal grand jury could indite a ham sandwich if it wants to.
And the Feds have over a 90% conviction rate.
It would be easy to sentence a POS like him to a long term by separate charges then running the sentences one after the other.
Repeat offender, career criminal, conspiracy, and other "words" add up to a long stay in the grey bar hotel.

I think something like this might get the message across if properly placed

Its too late now but early in his career he should have moved to LA or NY where he could hunt people.

I understand its much more challenging.


...and the penalties are less severe.

Just a ban? It's not like dudes behind bars or got an ankle bracelet to track his *. He'll do it again but will he be caught again?

Public executions and floggings seemed to be effective deterents and entertainment in the old times...

Justice should also be swift. For extreme crime, death row inmates should not be on the taxpayer dime waiting for punishment.
