Serial poacher!!

The guy shot and killed a kid....why is he still owning a rifle to kill a deer a few years later. At minimum he should have spent 10 years in the pen and a life ban on firearms.
 
America...

If you some how think it's better here, then you need to pick yourself up by the neck and shake, cause our justice system lets pedophiles go free sooner than that and then help them find a job within a block of to preschools and a elementary.
Not to mention Momma Bouchard? Hells Angel president and convicted violent criminal issued a PAL?
Like you need to be in America to have retards....
 
My condolences to the parents of the innocent young hunter. Absolutely sickening that the system would allow this man to continue making it into the news. I cannot imagine how frustrated the parents of that boy must be.
 
America...

Yup, America. :rolleyes:
At least he suffered some consequences. Everyone's forgotten about this one?

Father of four shot dead during night hunting trip
FOUR children are fatherless after a Sagkeeng First Nation man was fatally shot while hunting in darkness early Thursday.

Jason Guimond, 35, was hunting on Crown land near Happy Lake Road about 45 kilometres north of Powerview when he was shot at about 2:30 a.m.

RCMP continue to investigate the shooting, but Guimond's mother, Leona Bacon, said she has been told her son was shot by one of the members of the hunting party.

"His best friend did that," Bacon said.

"I always told him to be careful in the bush."

Bacon said she last spoke with her son by telephone on Christmas. "He said he loved me -- he always told me 'I love you.' "

Bacon said her son's four children are all 17 years old or younger. She said her son also has one grandchild.

Guimond is also survived by his wife, Carmen, four step-children, two brothers and a sister.

RCMP spokeswoman Sgt. Line Karpish said officers are investigating the shooting, but not the night hunting on Crown land.

"This is a situation where the hunting, despite the time of day, was legal," Karpish said. "A First Nations hunter can hunt any time they want. It's one of their hunting rights."

But Karpish said those rights don't include careless shooting.

"No matter what the treaty rights, you have to remember, everybody is accountable when you fire a firearm," she said. "They need to know what they're shooting at."

Rob Dean, Manitoba Conservation's assistant director of regional operations, said what's legal for aboriginal hunters would be illegal for regulated licenced hunters in the province.

"You can hunt a half hour before sunrise and a half hour after sunset," Dean said. "At other times, it is too dark."

Dean said during daylight hours "there's enough light to determine what your target is.

"Mistakes can happen and this shows what can happen."

Powerview detachment and RCMP Winnipeg forensic identification services are investigating the death. An autopsy is being scheduled at the Health Sciences Centre.

Bacon, who lives in Pine Falls, said her son loved hunting and fishing.

"He would go out hunting with his uncle Gabe and his other uncle Dennis," she said.

"He went hunting to feed his family and to feed the reserve. He loved fishing in the summer. He was an outdoor person."

But Bacon said her son was also an artist and had works on display at the reserve.

"He has murals at the Sagkeeng High School and he did a house mural with an eagle."

Sagkeeng Chief Donovan Fontaine said he knew Guimond, who did seasonal work on the reserve.

"He was a nice man," Fontaine said.

"He'll be really missed by this community."

Fontaine said RCMP haven't shared any details of their investigation with him yet.

Sagkeeng, with a population of more than 5,000, is located about 145 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg. Powerview and Pine Falls are communities next to Sagkeeng.

Poacher's have the "cart before the horse." Their priorities are all screwed up... they have there own perceived identity tied to the success that other's believe of them... that is why the jackass showed up with the poached deer's rack to receive the glory that he was craving... even though he didn't earn it.

Real hunters understand that it is the "process" that makes the hunt... not the results of "squeezing the trigger" or "dropping the string..." It is how you get there that counts, not what you get. Some of my greatest hunting experiences did not result in the harvesting of game (don't get me wrong, I love to harvest game)... Standing on the point of an unknown mist covered lake at first light, miles from any other humans, and calling back and forth with a rut addled bull moose, listening to the grunts echo and the cracking of its rack against the trunks of trees... is reward enough.

Poachers will never understand that.

In America if you are convicted of a felony, you are in criminal possession of a firearm anytime all the time for the most part.

Theron Kent shot and killed the kid.
David Kent poached the deer.

Still it is a sad commentary to see such crap as this exist anywhere

Take note that David Kent was with his brother Theron, when he shot and killed the boy... and inspite of being right there (an accomplice of sorts)... he went out and reoffended with poaching the buck...
 
Google the definition of "involuntary manslaughter". "Accomplice" doesn't apply here.

Thats why I said of "sorts"... it doesn't apply legally, but morally he was in on that action also... you don't think the two brothers were talking about the shot in the cab of the truck... if Theron took the shot, who do you think was driving and positioning the vehicle... He may not have been implicated legally but he was clearly morally culpable... and his further transgression adds legitimacy to this perspective.
 
I've heard of repeat poachers who justify their actions through a bizarre form of criminal logic. They feel that since they were caught before and paid a fine, etc., the government now owes them something; they feel further entitled to poach :mad:
