Poachers

[NYRturkeycall]

Anyone see this? While I take everything I read in the news with a grain of salt, this seems pretty solid. And this is a slap on the wrist for these two compared to the unethical behavior they displayed. This is disgusting and this is what gives hunters bad names. Yes, he has the audacity to say nobody cares more about animals than hunters. Clearly he doesn't. I don't care about the ethical kill or not. This is me venting.

I've heard interviews with this guy and he's a bit of tool. Sadly, 130K is probably not a lot of money to them.

Losers on steroids. $133K is nothing. They should be canceled OFF youtube and instagram

Slap on the wrist.  I'm sure they are formulating a response removing the blame from them and placing it on someone else. 

I hope their YouTube channel gets chopped and they end up loosing everything, but that's unlikely.

The amount of time people spending talking about them good or bad is exactly why $133K is nothing to them.

God bless those of you that think $133,000 is a slap on the wrist.  Their brand just took a major hit, and however they made their money, it is likely drying up quickly.  Add that they will both need to travel to Nebraska to put in 40 hours each of community service and have their names easily Google searched taking everyone to this poaching conviction.  But how about the owner of the outfitter that brought all of these illegal poachers to the state to do this?  I hope NE closes that operation down for good.  Every time I see another wanna be "pro staffer" all over social media, I wonder how often poaching is involved....

I'm not sure $133k is going to break them.  No clue how community service works, because I've never been in this situation.  Can they put in a 40h week and be done? Or does the state hand out 10 hrs here and there over several months? 

Poaching...It's become so prevalent in hunting and fishing today, that when someone does everything legally, and wins a fishing tournament or shoots a record animal, they are automatically suspected of poaching.

In this case I would hope they hand out 1/2 hour time slots only, every other week

If you are convicted of poaching in any state. I think your hunting privileges should be revoked everywhere in the US. Concerning what people will stoop to for likes and subscribers these days.

Its upsetting that Levi Morgan is in bed with these two

He did 30 months, thats not nothin! I agree about the $133k, thats absolutely a lot of money to them. I dont think theyre printing money with a couple archery gimmicks and a supplement pyramid scheme

There's a lot of money in the supplement business. My guess is that they are easily grossing seven figures. Plus all the hunting views which add up. I believe the guy burned a 60K truck for the likes.

It will have an affect on the bottom line - people are lighting up their IG page - but they have a lot of fanboys and defenders.

I remember the bear spearing thing with him years ago.

 

There are a good number of outfitters and hunting celebs/influencers where the results just don’t add up. Yet, folks flock to them like moths to a flame.

  Poaching-- Baiting Turkeys + Deer where it is illegal.  Both S@#! Bigtime.

  Think of all the Prime Private areas they being Famous with countless contacts and they still had to drop down to the bottom of the barrel.

   This is right up there with Liverking Lying to his 1/4 Million Subscribers. 

     Fine should be Triple.

Anyone who didn't  think liver king was on gear is a dummy lol.

Their net worth is well into the millions according to a few people I know mutually. A significant amount of it from the fitness side. One person shared $7M annual revenue on that side. High margins. Levi is a fellow Ohioan. Could all be smoke but I’d be inclined to believe. The hunting money…much less.
