That's #### inconsiderate to deprive us all of such animals. We can only hope the culprit is reincarnated as an endangered animal himself.

I wonder often just how many hawks, owls and other critters, rare or not, are poached but never discovered by law enforcement people. FWS has a reward out, by the way, for information leading to the arrest of the person who recently shot a bald eagle along the Delaware River in Pennsylvania. Here's a FWS release about that case: http://www.fws.gov/news/NewsReleases/showNews.cfm?newsId=ABB499D4-0451-7899-65F152FB5DE1374D I agree, Mike.

Thanks for the information. It seems that this is a case of knowingly poaching an animal. That’s exactly why I asked that. Thanks for the information.

Now Mr. Learnard said he was in the field in late November. Whether he had a permit or not just doesn't seem relevant. Had he been going after a bobcat, he still would have been breaking the state's wildlife code. 21 days in jail seems like a modest slap on the wrist.
