Spokane tribal leader cited for bison poaching

http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Report-Spokane-tribal-leader-cited-for-bison-poaching-202925461.html

...Citing court records, the Spokesman-Review reported Sunday that 41-year-old Rodney W. Abrahamson was cited in Montana for five misdemeanors, including hunting out of season, taking game out of season and obstructing an investigation. He was fined nearly $3,500.

Taking game out of season, not following hunting rules and regulations...who does this guy think he is anyway, Ted Nugent?

Is it 100%? Half of that at 50%? Half of that at 25%? Half of that at 12.5%? ...

No one should feel that a member of the Spokane Tribe he has been wronged for being prosecuted for poaching Bison near Gardiner, Montana where the hunting rights of the Nez Perce Tribe are still protected.

What I see is some arrogance. IMO, both he and his brother appear to have more White blood than native-American blood.

The sad reality, those in power make the rules and decide what AND who is or is not criminal.

Poaching is not a good thing at all. the NRA's big mouth mouthpiece is a twice-confessed poacher. the rule makers, allow him to be better than the tribal member from Spokane.
