We know. We know. Poaching stories are like fingernails on the chalkboard to Montana hunters.
At least this one involves a conviction and sentencing. And what a no-nonsense sentence it appears to be. I guess 12 deer, two turkeys and a bighorn sheep will earn you that kind of punishment. Our thanks to KPAX TV in Missoula for alerting us to this via Stephanie Butzer, KMGH in Denver.
A Colorado Springs man who pleaded guilty to several poaching charges in Colorado will likely never hunt in 48 states ever again. Vike Kapu was accused of illegally killing 12 deer, 2 turkeys and a bighorn sheep ram across three Colorado counties. He was sentenced this week in a plea agreement, to six months in jail, fined $4,600 and given three years of supervised probation.
