I just stumbled across this article. Pretty interesting read, right in our backyard.

Good read. Man, I've seen so many of those sheep while out hiking those areas.

The hunters were fined $500?! Not much of a deterent. More like the cost of doing business, especially since the article stated that a common thread among them was 'ready cash'. I accept hunting as a sport, but illegal is illegal. How much money did we pay in taxes for this investigation?! Friggin wasteful all the way around. :evil:

Well, $500 was about $90,000 back in 1971 right? :lol:
