If everyone did what they were supposed to do, no problems. Charges laid, obviously problems. Good for them for checking.

Then fish the lake out and wonder why they can't catch anymore.Quote:

good to hear that they are catching poachers
It's good to see, but if they are doing it by air instead of on a sled like they have in the past, no wonder why the budget is being used up so fast...Air time in a chopper is awful expensive...
If they're doing it from a sled, the people on the lake can hear, and see them from a long way off. Time enough to dump extra fish down the hole etc.Quote:

I have fished there for years and ran into them twice. A blitz's cost would probably be more than offset by the amount of fines they could dish out. Hopefully in time it would stop poachers from thinking I won't get caught.
No sympathy for poachers. They drive up in $40k pickups and ride in on $10k snowmachines with $3k worth of gear. What do they need these fish to feed the kids? Stupid greed, pay up.
That's not too terribly far off from what a Government budgeted Bell 146 /412 runs per hour. lolQuote:
