Just for taking deer to eat home?! I'm guessing 'unlawfully killed' is the operative phrase.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Seems kinda vague in what they are saying they did wrong...

Yeah, I did not see on the full article anything about unlawfully killed, just purchasing and transporting deer "parts"

This article refers to a Federal Indictment. A charge of no license would be a state charge. The feds would have no jurisdiction in that matter. However, the feds would have jurisdiction once the ill gotten animals were transported across state lines.
What I'm gleaning from this is that the State of Nebraska alleges that they didn't have licenses to take the deer. The feds allege that they transported illegally harvested animals across state lines.

Am i the only one who finds these fines and possible jail time REDICULOUS??? In this particular situation the max penalty would be ridiculous. However, these laws were created to deal with those people that would poach and transport multiple animals across state lines to sell their meat, antlers, and other parts on a black market. So for that purpose I'd say they might be a little lenient.

What??? If this is true, what the frig were they thinking?? Nationwide TV,own a hunting lodge. Hard to understand why they would even think they could get away with this. If this is true.

Makes me wonder if they have someone on their staff that applies and buys their licenses for them and they just "assumed" that they were goo dto go. Either way, responsibility falls on them.
I avoid Dick's and hope they fold.

The federal crime is the transportation of illegally harvested game across state lines Which is illegal because of the Lacey Act of 1990

I see no problem with the charges. If I had been in that same situation I can guarantee I wouldn't have been provided any leniency. Laws the Law. They especially should have known what would happen if they didn't have a license, they are experienced hunters.
