Jason Walters was arrested back in January after he killed a well-known whitetail buck in a protected urban area around Richmond, Virginia then shared photos of the deer to Facebook
On Friday, August 16, the state of Virginia handed down penalties in a months-long poaching case involving a 29-point whitetail buck known for roaming the grounds of the historic Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond.
Thirty-six-year-old Jason Walters pled guilty to 20 misdemeanors in the case, which has now landed him a six-month jail sentence, three months probation, a 24-year hunting ban, and more than $13,000 in fines.
His alleged accomplice in the crimes, Richmond resident Allan Proffitt, will serve 30 days of house arrest, pay $1,200 in fines, and see his hunting privileges revoked for six years.
OK, I get the fines, losing your hunting license, and probation or poaching.....But jail time for killing a fuckin' deer?
This just seems like overly punitive bullshit for shooting a deer people liked.
I feel so much safer now.....Come on man.
