This a joke? What kind of sad excuse of a judge would think this is any sort of punishment.

It's not even remotely funny either, kinda pisses me off more than anything

Yeah....sick judge for sure.

The fines however were substantial "They've paid $51,000 in fines and court costs."
That amount is not anything to laugh at.

Notice he also got a year in jail.

Once a month? That has got to be a joke. How about 24/7 for the full time of his sentence. Just hearing the words dear,deer, Bambi, thumper should turn him in to a babbling idiot drooling on himself.

Maybe he was one of the relatives.

Plus he lost hunting, fishing and trapping privileges for 18 years, and other members of family lost same privileges for various periods of time down to 5 years, should notice increase in decent bucks in that area in the next few years.

Not necessarily. I hope they change but my gut tells me that the amount of deliberate poaching they did and the amount of meat they allowed to spoil tells me redemption may be very elusive for these people.

As for watching Bambi repeatedly, the poacher in Bambi (let's face it that was what the human was doing as Bambi was a small spotted fawn which tells me the hunting season would have been closed) isn't brought to justice or shows any contrition for his "evil" ways. So I have to ask what is the judge's point in making this person watch the movie so many times (the article says it is unclear)?

Maybe we are reading into the judges sentence wrong.Getting the poacher to watch Bambi is not to brainwash him into not hunting deer but adds to the punishment.I watched it once when my kids were young.Once in a lifetime is more than enough .That guy will be forced to watch it 12 times.Thats cruel and unusual punishment if anything lol
