Bull Elk 21
Lowlife Bruce Wayne Cromer Jr. of Stovall NC pled guilty last month to the poaching of Bull elk 21 inside The Great Smoky National Park has been sentenced to 150 days in prison. Back in November 2009 he shot the dominant bull inside Cataloochee Valley.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Dennis L. Howell also ordered to Cromer to forfeit his rifle, which was autographed by NASCAR legend Richard Petty. Cromer will also lose his hunting license for two years and has been banned from all national parks for the same time period.
The killing of this elk robbed all of us who enjoy seeing the elk roaming the mountain meadows of Cataloochee. I don’t think the sentence is hard enough but then again I have zero tolerance for idiots like this. I always get a kick out of the “taking of hunting privileges”…. Hello he is a poacher a hunting license means nothing to him.
