Ducking Poaching Video On Youtube Has Nothing to Do With Hunting

Saskatoon, CA - -(AmmoLand.com)- The recent “Duck Hunting” video playing on Youtube that showed 3 Saskatoon Canada poachers has nothing to do with the real sport of Duck Hunting or Waterfowling.

The video is now being used by the national media and anti hunting groups to portray honest ethical hunters in a bad light.

In typical bad taste the video, shown below, starts off with a clip from the Video Game Duck Hunting but in no way does it reflect the actual sport of duck hunting.

The poachers are seen shooting birds of all ages, out of season, from a car, on the water and with rimfire rifles. All things that are illegal and never done in the actual sport of Waterfowling.

A spokesman for the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment said all three suspects, whose names have not been released, were arrested Saturday morning in a small Saskatoon-area community.

Search warrants were also carried out at two of the individuals’ residences.

Gary Harrison, manager of the department’s special investigations unit, said provincial and federal wildlife officers and the RCMP were also able to pin down the location where the video was shot.

“It’s close to the community that the arrests were made in,” he said.

The accused men, who are all in their early 20s, are to appear in Saskatoon provincial court on Monday to face a variety of charges under provincial and federal wildlife laws.

The overwhelming number of tips in this case shows that the public, including law abiding Canadian hunters, understands the value of the wildlife resources in Canada and isn’t willing to put up with animals being slaughtered, he said.

A conviction under the Migratory Birds Convention Act can carry fines of between $300,000 and six months in jail for individuals, up to $1 million – though Petrar noted that maximum penalties are rare.

gotta agree they should be made an example of. they really set a bad example to the public of what hunters/outdoors people are like. kinda we all get painted with the same brush deal. unfortunate for them that they probably are not the only ones doing it but its good that they got caught maybe make others think before acting so stupidly and shooting these birds for no reason.

just like to clarify one thing here .......... those pricks are "NOT" duck hunters nor do they represent the "HUNTER" or our community of sustenance hunters ...

I bet they get a very large fine.....might even have to sell the Hyundai to pay for it

While I'm no duck hunter myself...you can tell these guys are just idiots with guns. Hopefully it doesn't taint the image for you guys who do this legitimately and respectfully. Just like every other activity, there's always someone making it look bad!
These guys probably microwave kittens in their spare time too...

What a bunch of retards!!! That right there is an example of why parents should beat thier children. Stupidity, to do something illegal and then post on a public site like youtube, they deserve what they get, and hopefully it is more than a slap on the wrist.

At least we can all be happy with the fact that they were stupid enough to film it, and then post it. Without that level of stupidity, they would never see the inside of the courtroom.

Thank god for the stupid, this time around at least.
