I beleive in Canada that if your caught poaching you can loose your vehical and even your home if found guilty. Also have read that Canada has more game wardens killed in the line of duty than the USA because the laws are far more tougher and so poachers have to play for keeps. Game wardens are far better trained in law enforcement than in this country because of that.
Poachers in times of prosperity are equal to drunk drivers, both need to feel the pain of thier actions!
