Poaching Suspects Charged in Yosemite National Park

After an extensive investigation, three individuals face multiple federal
charges for poaching within Yosemite National Park. Over the past several
years, Southern California residents Chad Gierlich, Chris Gierlich, and
Kyle Narasky have allegedly poached multiple trophy-sized deer within the
park boundaries. The investigation uncovered a complex, concerted effort
by these individuals to illegally hunt within the park and kill trophy size
bucks. Search warrants resulted in the seizure of items such as bows and
arrows, GIS devices, mounted kills, and several items that lead to the
charges being filed.

This interagency investigation was conducted by Yosemite National Park
Rangers, Pacific West Region Special Agents, and California Department of
Fish and Game Wardens. Multiple federal charges regarding the illegal
hunting have been filed which fall under the Lacey Act and Title 36 CFR
(Code of Federal Regulations). In addition to poaching within the park,
state charges have been filed alleging that illegal hunting activity
occurred on land under the jurisdiction of the California Department of
Fish and Game.

“This is the most egregious case of illegal hunting we have uncovered here
in Yosemite National Park. Wildlife in Yosemite is as important as Half
Dome or Yosemite Falls. We take this activity very seriously and will
continue to aggressively investigate and prosecute anybody found to be
partaking in this activity. This is a very serious offense and we want to
send a clear message that we will not tolerate illegal hunting in Yosemite
National Park,” stated Yosemite Chief Ranger Steve Shackelton.

The defendants are scheduled to appear in Federal Court in the next few
weeks.

THE CONQUERING HERO!!!!!

The SCOTTS SHOULD BE ASHAMED……..

…..NOW HOW MANY WILL DIE????

A long held tradition of the Northern Maine woods. Bear baiting is said by some to not be “sportin’ “. Well folks killing is not basketball or hockey. Hunting is not a “sport”, it’s way too serious to be placed in such trivial company as “playing”. Up here a “sport” is a tourist who “plays” at being a hunter.

All of us “Hunters” need to be aware that eyes are on us at all times. Your slob attitude or temporary amnesia can cost you this tradition.

As previously posted HSUS is watching Maine with an Eagle eye looking for a way to steal this ting from us. Don’t let them use you against us.

What the ___________!!!!!!!!             Couldn’t believe this!!!!!!!

READ THIS AND SEEK THE LINK…….(just Google SB-2099)

Clearing Up the Rumors: The Truth About The “Gun Tax Bill”   Friday, May 29, 2009   In the last few weeks, NRA-ILA has received hundreds of e-mails warning us about “SB-2099,” a bill that would supposedly require you to report all your guns on your income tax return every April 15.Like many rumors, there’s just a grain of truth to this one.  Someone’s recycling an old alert, which wasn’t even very accurate when it was new.There actually was a U.S. Senate bill with that number that would have taxed handguns—nine years ago.  It was introduced by anti-gun Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.), and it would have included handguns under the National Firearms Act’s tax and registration scheme.  This has nothing to do with anyone’s Form 1040, of course. Fortunately, S. 2099 disappeared without any action by the Senate, back when Bill Clinton was still in the White House.  We reported about it back then, just as we report about new anti-gun bills every week.  Now, it’s time for gun owners to drop this old distraction and focus on the real threats at hand.
