Thanks for sharing and nice to see you back! Hope all is well...

Nice to see them caught! No telling how much damage they had done before being caught or what they may do on the deer herd with those weapons. As Giles would say "people suck"

The punishment probably won’t fit the crime. I hope at the very least they confiscate the weapons and the vehicles used.

Won't be long til imaging and drones will be illegal for wildlife/hunting. Brainless people will ruin it for everyone.
