be curious to know the thought process and how you got here. Read Foiles' history of violations over the course of years in two different countries beligerently taking excess limits, birds out of season, shooting banded geese in a city park, fudging log books for clients, animal cruelty, etc.... and these guys' party hunting with undercover agents doesn't seem quite as terrible. As far as any of us know it was a 1st offense (and again based on the disdain this reporter had for this group, I'm sure if they had more of a rapsheet we'd have heard about it) so a fine and loss of privileges for 2 years is pretty SOP. People make mistakes, they made one and they're paying for it....handsomely. Hopefully they learn and correct it, but I certainly can't get on board with condemning them for life over party hunting and getting caught for the 1st time. I'm not, and I doubt any of us are, in a position to cast stones.
