Woman Charged in Illegally Killing Black Bear, Franklin Pa

NW Pa. woman charged with illegally killing black bear at her home

I always hate to read an article about poaching. If the charges are true this woman illegally killed a black bear, essentially stealing from every hunter who buys a hunting license and bear tag.

I have hunted black bear several times and unfortunately did not even see one. It's really disgusting to think that someone would illegally kill a bear or any game animal.

As a hunter I am disgusted by poachers and feel the $1500 penalty is not severe enough. What are your thoughts?
