Be sure to read the Terkovic story about the 5th or 6th story down the list, the guy keeps applying for tags and licenses even after his priviledges are suspended. Amazing.

The link works now. It's nice to read that poachers do get caught and have to pay the price for their crime. They're stealing from all legitimate hunters.

What's even more amazing in the stupidity department, was that he was using a .308 to hunt brown bear...

"The Alaska Fish and Game Department discovered Terkovich’s daughter drew a Kodiak brown bear license when she was just 9 years old – 10 years is minimum bear hunting age in Alaska – and harvested a boar that ranked 238 all time on the Boone and Crockett trophy list.

Browning and fellow Wyoming investigators John Demaree and Jim Gregory assisted two Alaska officers in serving a search warrant on Terkovich’s home March 1, 2011. The full-body mount of the bear, the skull, one rifle, and photos and documents pertaining to the hunt were seized and Terkovich’s computer files were copied.

On Oct. 7, 2011, Terkovich pleaded guilty in district court in Kodiak, Alaska, to “one consolidated count of false statement on Fish/Game license application.” He was fined $6,050, assessed $1,300 restitution for the bear, and ordered to forfeit the bear mount and skull and the .308 caliber rifle used in the crime. His hunting and fishing license privileges were also revoked for five years.
