The sad part is...
it probably won't stop the creep from hunting / poaching. He'll just be more careful next time.
In mideval (sp?) England poaching was a capital offense, one of only two offenses for which members of the Clergy could be tried (the other being Treason). Even Draconian punishments
whip such as drawing and quartering or burying the offender alive did little to stop the killing of the "King's deer".
BTW, judges in GA are empowered to suspend hunting "rights" for up to 5 years; the Commissioner of DNR can suspend for up to 10.

They NEVER LEARN.... or STOP!!!
They NEVER LEARN.... or STOP!!!!
Some people will NEVER LEARN or STOP COMMITTING CRIMES!
We see this in our prison systems now.... thousands of people every year are arrested, tried/convicted, sent to prision, serve portions of their sentences, and are released.... usually only to repeat the process all over again a few days to a few months later. That's why the US prison systems are over-populated beyond their designed capacity now.
The second offense for SERIOUS VIOLATIONS should be considered a FELONY upon CONVICTION for such game law violations. That way, just the possession of a firearm would be grounds for incarceration. In the above case his license was already UNDER SUSPENSION FOR 3 YEARS when he committed the second offense for a similar violation. The only real "wake-up call" would be few months in jail as a cell mate of "Big Bubba" doing 5-to life.

Having hunted extensively in Florida and Georgia for years, and having known some game violators that have been caught in both states, I can tell you that Florida comes down on poachers much more severely than does Georgia.
A comment was made that it won't stop this slob from "hunting," but it may make some that walk the edge think twice...I sure hope so.

Perfect example of why license suspension doesn't work.
Heavy fines should be used as a deterrent.
Repeat offenders need some "time in the box".

Living in the Florida Panhandlle I have seen bucks chasing does in April so it is possible to have spotted fawns in December.
It isn't often that it happens but it is certainly not out of the question.

I saw a doe in Gadsden county last year the week after Christmas that had a spotted fawn with her. the rut is sooooo late and sooooo drawn out down here that seeing spotted fawns i December or january is not out of the question at all.
SGTH, I don't know Scott and barely know Harris and never speak to them.

that's what I'm talking about
"a new Florida law allows local courts to deal seriously with repeat offenders. When repeat offenders’ violations occur within specified times, they face tougher penalties with each conviction."
glad to see Ga. part of the Wildlife Violator Compact but they need to follow Florida's lead in convicting these people.....hit them where it hurts "in the wallet" and "Jail time"

Some people don't ever learn. Taking his hunting rights away for life won't matter too much I'm sure since he's already poaching, but the money and jail time hopefully will keep him away from doing it for awhile. Next time maybe they'll fry him!!
It does suck for him though if he decides one day to straighten up and wants to go on a guided hunt or hunt out west for elk somewhere and he can't get a tag because of this later down the road. I guess you get what you deserve.
I've seen spotted fawns hog hunting in the summer, deer hunting in Dec. and turkey hunting in March. You never know what's going on here without a real pronounced rut.

My bad GS. I fish with these boys,and have heard Harris mention your name,but I know that I have never met you.I figured you knew them better.I know Harris post some on fla sportmans.If you ever get a chance hook up with them they can really catch some fish.I grew up with them they really are good folks.

No biggie. I've met Scott before, but we wouldn't know each other unless we were introduced again. I've had beers and swaped lies with Harris before, so I know him a little better. he also donated a pile of grouper fillets one time for our fishing club cookout. Super fellows for sure. I've never fished with those guys, but I've fished in the same areas and they do know what they're doing.
