Besides, I don't think there are sufficient deterrents for people who are disturbed - and this crime struck me as the act of kids who were somewhat disturbed. A lifetime ban makes a statement: Society doesn't believe you can ever be ethical hunters. You may go out and hunt again, but never, ever with our blessing. Revoking their licenses until their 21, on the other hand, says, "Aw shucks, you're just kids." And for the sane, I actually think this is plenty of deterrent. Plenty of ethical hunters are very careful about the rules because they know penalties are severe. These kids have already committed the crime, so this isn’t about deterrence; it’s about punishment.

Does suspending the hunting license of poachers, people who already show no respect for the rules or licenses, really serve as any kind of deterrent or penalty for the crime?

If you have that much disrespect for the traditions of hunting and the sacredness of taking a life now, you're not going to ever learn respect. I agree with Holly, suspend their licenses for life.

That's me. These here fellas would do well going to work for the Fish and Game department. Their crimes will become evident to them after some satisfactory jail time served with a follow-up tenure of employment (no-pay). Oh, too harsh? They are too old to get a foot in the ass, I guess, so sit in jail, where you belong until you figure it out. Remorse would do, huh? If need be, look it up young lads and come join the fun. P.S. I'd love to know the A.H. award's inception policies, well, maybe not. I’m amazed every day for what I

If you're that stupid now, chances are you won't get a whole lot brighter. As much as we want to see the numbers of hunters grow, we're better off without these punks. If I were my dear old late dad, I'd say shoot 'em in the knees and let 'em rot in the field, but I'm a kinder gentler Heyser.
