quote:

On a guided hunt last May, two bears — a male and a female — came into view. Investigators said she shot the male and attempted to kill it with a second shot, but instead killed the second bear. Both bears died.....Theresa Vail was sentenced in state court Wednesday to one year of probation and a $750 fine. The sentence also included $1,300 restitution


I wonder if she'd have been charged if, instead of misidentifying the wounded bear, she had stumbled and "accidentally" shot her guide. I think there's a double standard in regards to accidentally killing an animal versus another hunter.

Had she reported it then and there, she probably would of been okay, however she choose to have an additional tag flown in the next day and backdated and signed it, (at the guides request) ,doing all that I am surprised she got off with such a light sentence

Boo this man. She thought she was making a follow up shot and instead stuck two. Trying to cover it up lions bad but who doesn't say "Oh shite. Can I fix this?" I can't, and won't hold her in the same light as another illegal hunter like a spotlighter
